Christian Scripts and Church Dramas
231 Worship have been busy writing and collecting scripts for over 10 years. We have a wide range of church dramas and skits that can be performed for almost any occasion. Our Christian scripts are biblically based and can be used not only in churches, but most school drama competitions as well.
All of our scripts are downloadable, which means we do not actually ship anything. As soon as you find your script and checkout, you can download immediately and start practicing your skit or play.
Jairus’ daughter remembers people asking her what it was like when she was dead. But she believes the better question is, “How am I alive?” She recounts how her father was willing to give up everything to believe in Jesus, trusting that He could heal her. Jesus did the same thing for all of us, so we could each be brought back to life.
When their brother, Lazarus, was sick, Mary and Martha called for the one person they knew could heal him. But when Jesus didn’t arrive until after Lazarus died, they wavered in their belief. Once Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, the sisters realized that Jesus is the Christ, and whoever believes in Him will live.
As the man who condemned Jesus to death on a cross, Pilate reflects on his experience. Jesus challenged his power but refused to answer to the charges against Him. Pilate saw Jesus die, and later saw an empty tomb. While he won’t call himself a believer, he knows that he is the one responsible for Jesus’ crucifixion.
The soldier who nailed Jesus to the cross recounts the experience. He was just doing his job. But, when Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they’re doing,” and looked at him, the soldier realized that he needed to be forgiven. He realized Jesus really was the Son of God.
Thomas is often associated with the word “doubt.” But as he reflects on being a disciple of Jesus and seeing the scars when Jesus rose from the dead, we are reminded that Jesus is exactly who He said He was: the Son of God. Because of that, we are believers.
This skit features two of the bridesmaids from Jesus' parable in Matthew 25:1-13. They prepare for the coming of the bridegroom and provide a powerful reminder of the importance of being ready for Christ's return.
This lighthearted skit takes a fresh look at the parable of the good Samaritan and reminds people that we are called to love everyone, even those who load the toilet paper roll the wrong way!
Plagued by horrendous nightmares, Claudia warned her husband, Pilate, that Jesus was innocent. She pleaded for Pilate not to condemn Him. Now, the day after Jesus' crucifixion, Claudia and Pilate share their anguish over the pressures Pilate faced and the ramifications of his decision.
This script is a dramatic retelling of the story of Jesus' resurrection from Luke 24:1-12. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Joanna went to anoint the body of Jesus and found an empty tomb and two angels who told them Christ is risen. They told the disciples and were met with disbelief until Peter saw the empty tomb for himself.
Mary Magdalene reflects on the horrors of Golgotha as she experiences the shock of the empty tomb. Her grief and confusion provide a backdrop for experiencing the wonder and power of the resurrection in “an upside-down world.”
In a moving monologue, Peter shares the confusion and despair he felt after denying that he knew Jesus the night of His arrest. Peter’s honesty captures many of our questions about God’s perplexing ways of working and leads us to the forgiveness, redemption, and restoration God offers.
In this monologue, Martha reflects on the miracle of Jesus raising her brother, Lazarus, from the dead. Martha’s reflections offer a deeper understanding of how difficult it was—and is—to trust God to work things together for our good and His glory in troubling times.
Can our own attitudes cause us to miss celebrating Easter? See how a woman who is more concerned with fashion and comfort misses out on the importance of worship. What barriers keep us from focusing on God?
In this lighthearted Easter skit, a chocolate cross and a hollow bunny have a conversation on a store shelf as they await someone to buy them. The bunny thinks he has nothing to do with Easter, but maybe he has more in common with the Resurrection story than he thinks!
This 30-minute play is the story of Easter week told by a storyteller in familiar rhyme. Monologues and small scenes featuring people who were there for Holy Week are interspersed. Written for a live, socially distanced, or virtual performance for children.
