Choosing a church isn’t just about finding a place where you feel comfortable.
It’s about finding a church where your children are known, loved, taught, and welcomed. 🤍
I want my children to grow up knowing that church isn’t somewhere they are sent while the adults worship.
I want them to know that they are part of the church too.
A good church makes room for children.
It teaches them Scripture in ways they can understand.
It gives them opportunities to serve.
It lets them participate in worship.
It prays over them.
It celebrates their milestones.
It has adults who know their names and genuinely care about their lives.
It creates a safe environment where they can ask questions about God without being made to feel ashamed for not knowing the answers.
It gives them opportunities to see older generations living out their faith—and to build relationships with people who will encourage them in their walk with Jesus.
And most importantly, a good church doesn’t simply entertain children.
It disciples them.
Because our goal shouldn’t be to raise children who enjoy going to church because there’s a fun activity waiting for them.
Our goal should be to raise children who understand why they are there.
Children who know God’s Word.
Children who know how to pray.
Children who know they belong to the body of Christ.
Children who see church as a family—not just a building they visit once a week.
I want my children to grow up surrounded by people who will pray for them, teach them, encourage them, correct them with love, and point them back to Jesus.
Because eventually, they’ll have to choose whether their faith is truly their own.
And I pray that the foundation we build at home, alongside a church family that faithfully invests in them, gives them something worth carrying for the rest of their lives.
