5 FREE Christian Skits for Youth
1. The Heavenly Express
First, this 12-to 15-minute skit is about how we get to heaven. It includes excuses people use not to accept their free ticket. Easy and evangelical, this is wonderful for VBS and other church gatherings.
Synopsis: At a train platform, Newman watches as several people attempt to board the Heavenly Express. Some get on and some do not. Elderberry explains how Jesus paid the price of each ticket on Calvary.
This skit is written with teens in mind, and younger audiences love it too. Everyone knows you need a ticket to board a train. What if you didn’t have a ticket?
Newman learns that the tickets are priceless, but Jesus gives them away freely. He paid the price for all our tickets at Calvary. They’re for everyone, but not everyone accepts them. At the end, Newman accepts Jesus as his Savior and receives his ticket to board the Heavenly Express. All aboard!
2. Birth of a Salesman
Next, this 12-to 15-minute skit is about sharing the Gospel with others.
Synopsis: When two men meet in a crowded location, a somewhat reluctant salesman sells the louder one on the Gospel. See it all happen in Birth of a Salesman.
This is one of my favorite Christian skits for youth! The two main actors (Frank and Donny D.) have all the lines. But you can include any number of others to portray the crowd. These actors may walk by, jostle around, or say funny things in passing.
Frank, the true “salesman,” is reserved and reluctant to talk about what he sells. But when Donny D., the stereotypical loud salesman, hears about the free offer of eternal life and forgiveness, he can’t pass it up!
Powerful Christian skits for youth get kids thinking about evangelism. “Birth of a Salesman” turns everyone into better “salesmen” of the Good News.
3. A Day in the Life of a Superhero
This 5- to 10-minute skit shows God’s faithfulness in the everyday life of a kidmin director. It’s a great tribute to how church workers deal with day-to-day difficulties in ministry. So use it for Sunday School Teacher Appreciation Day.
Synopsis: Lisa is a typical kidmin staff person. She’s having a typical day, except things aren’t going well. One disappointing thing after another happens. Finally, Lisa prays and asks God to help encourage her… just a little… to help her get through the day.
Suddenly everything turns around. People start volunteering to help. Parents call to encourage. And a note Lisa received at the beginning of the skit is from a child who just accepted Christ as Savior. The pastor enters to sum up the spiritual realities, and everyone goes out for coffee. Just your typical day in the life of a superhero. Or in this case, of a children’s ministry worker.
