Children In The Worshiping Community

Jesus' call to let the children come to him provides Christians with the joyful task of training and forming children in the Christian faith and encouraging them to offer whole-hearted worship. In so doing, children take their place as an essential part of the body of Christ, with as much to teach others as to learn themselves. The church that neglects children in planning and leading worship certainly deprives both its children of the opportunity for meaningful corporate worship and the church of their joyful and profound faith. This section outlines ways in which the church can take greater responsibility for the spiritual formation of children and can encourage them to participate more fully in worship.
