OUR STORY

The Word Bricks was born from a passion for two things: the life-giving power of the Bible, and the joy of creative, hands-on learning. As parents, teachers, ministry leaders, and lifelong learners, we saw a need for tools that make the truth of Scripture engaging and tangible—especially for kids and families. So we set out to design resources that combine the fun of brick-building with the eternal truths of the Bible.

Every set, lesson, and activity we create is rooted in our core belief: that the Word of God is alive, powerful, and capable of transforming lives (Hebrews 4:12). Through interactive storytelling and thoughtful design, we aim to help children and families not only hear the Word—but build it into the foundation of their everyday lives.

Below are the core members of our company and a link to how their story of how they came to faith.

What We Believe

 

Our beliefs are rooted in the Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and centered on Jesus Christ. Here’s what shapes everything we do:

The Bible is God’s Word — inspired, without error, and the final authority for our faith and life.

There is one true God — eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God — fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose again, and will return in glory.

Salvation is by grace through faith — not by works, but through trusting in Jesus alone.

The Holy Spirit lives in every believer — empowering us to live lives that reflect Christ’s love and truth.

The Church is God’s family — a global community called to worship, grow, and reach the world with the Gospel.

Every believer is called — to serve, to share, and to shine with the light of Jesus wherever they go.

 

 

Why we do what we do

 

We believe that when a child is trained up young in the way he or she should go, that when he or she is old they will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6)—and that the Word of God is best learned when it’s experienced. That’s why we’ve created a platform where kids and families can explore Biblical stories and principles through creative building. We want children to not only hear about David and Goliath, the Good Samaritan, or Jesus walking on water—but to build these stories, interact with them, and remember the truths behind them.

At The Word Bricks, we’re not just building models. We’re building disciples—brick by brick, truth by truth.
