Worship, more than anything, should be done together as a family. We want children to worship alongside their parents.

Through the years we’ve seen children we’ve served, who had once been on fire for God and in love with His presence, slowly drift away from church and the Lord. We, along with many other churches around the world, have seen that the model of children’s ministry in the church, where children are separate from their parents, was not working! Children graduate out of Sunday school and feel like there is nothing left for them at church. Something had to change, because the “fig tree” of children’s ministry just had so little fruit. We’ve recognized that it is time to plant a new seed.  Our new Sunday morning worship schedule is designed to create lifelong worshipers and followers of Jesus.  Faith is caught more than it is taught. Having children worship alongside their parents and other believers in worship will create in them a rounded faith, based not only on education but also worship and unity as the Body of Christ.  Children learn by doing, and children learn to worship by worshiping.

We know (and expect) that children are going to have trouble sitting still and being quiet. That’s okay! We want children in worship! Worshiping God is a joyous privilege that is not to be reserved for adults. God loves children and so do we – wiggles and all.
