Discussion of Children’s ministry is often reserved for children’s leaders and, perhaps, parents. Christian Life & Children, however, is for every adult church member. It will motivate, encourage and equip us to help the children in our communities to develop their faith.
Inspired by God’s passion for children, this resource highlights the Bible’s guidelines for our role, as individuals and as a church family, in the spiritual growth of children. It offers valuable insights into the world of today’s children, together with guidance on how they learn and grow spiritually. And in a society where increasingly few children attend church, Christian Life & Children is designed to help you and your Christian community to understand that:
- All children are people – a vital part of God’s creation.
- All children are able to have a relationship with God at every age & stage.
- All children have a contribution to make to the life of the Christian community.
- In today’s world few children are given the opportunity to respond to God through Jesus.
- Everyone in the Church has a responsibility to care for the young, by prayer, appropriate relationships and leadership.
- Every church needs a God-given vision for the way to impact the children in their area.
Christian Life & Children will help you to see that ministry to and among children is a great context for teaching, witness, spiritual growth and joy. It is a place for working with and for God, to benefit others and to help extend the Kingdom.
