What Hymn of the Month Club Members Are Saying
Venessa S.Â
I'm a preK teacher at a classical Christian school. Having the coloring sheets and activities that back up what we are learning give opportunity for more discussion and is so helpful!
Erin D.
We are currently using them in our homeschool. I love how it’s all laid out and easy to use, informative, engaging and fun. Thank you for all the work so we can easily incorporate hymns into our daily routine!Â
Bryan W.
I joined to use them during children's church on Wednesday night. I really like the activities, biblical references, and information about the hymns. You have done a great job with all of this.

Behind Hymns Illustrated
Over twenty years ago, Kristen Iaffaldano began sending a simple “Hymn of the Month” email newsletter to friends and family from her personal inbox.
Today that small idea has grown into Hymns Illustrated—a collection of hymn studies, illustrated hymn story videos, and teaching resources designed to help families, churches, and Christian schools explore the truth and heritage behind the hymns we sing.
Kristen lives in Iowa where her husband pastors Faith Baptist Church in Knoxville.
