Every Child Belongs in Primary
One way children learn who belongs in the family of God is by looking at the pictures on the walls around them. When children walk into the Primary room and see faces that look like theirs and they learn a quiet yet powerful message: you are seen, you are known, you matter. For too many children, that has been a difficult message to learn with the art that is used in Primary.
We are thrilled to release our newest commissioned piece: a Primary bulletin board kit created specifically to help every child see the beauty and diversity of our Heavenly Parent’s family.
Why it matters, even where the ward looks the same
Some wards are largely made up the same way in race and culture and it may be easy to ask why some wards would need something like this. We believe representational art matters everywhere! Art that reflects the full human family helps children (and adults!) remember what they sing about on Sunday: we are all children of God. Representational art isn’t only a mirror for those who need to see themselves represented, it is also a window to be able to see the divinity of those who may look different than them.
For Primary presidencies and ward leaders
This kit was designed to help your Primary room become more welcoming without putting more on your already full plate. Whether your ward is richly diverse or not, it gives teachers and leaders a simple and faithful way to help children understand that God’s family is beautifully diverse and that each child and person is valued and needed.
by Melissa Tshikamba
…by supporters of our mission, Meetinghouse Mosaic has commissioned (compensated) Melissa Tshikamba to create this beautiful piece, and for a license to offer free downloads for personal printing.
The files are in .tif format, which are high-resolution and ideal for printing.

Our intention for this project is twofold—to redistribute visibility to artists of color, whose voice and vision are critical to becoming Zion, and to flood our homes, meetinghouses, and communities with diverse portrayals of Christ in ways that are accessible to all.
Diverse art has a positive effect on every observer.
Marginalized groups and individuals will, at last, see themselves in Deity (we are all created in God’s image), our places of worship become a more welcoming and inviting space, and those who have historically benefited from systems of oppression and racism will have opportunities to confront and deconstruct implicit biases, which can change lives for generations to come.
