Q& A
WE ASKED SOME PASTORS...
WHY DO
VALUE
YOUR
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY?
I love that children’s faith is uncomplicated. I love that children ask difficult questions.
I love that our kids are serving our community by being involved in church wide community projects and by each term taking morning tea to the police, ambulance, fire and hospital personnel.
I love the commitment and dedication of volunteers and leaders.
I love seeing our children make a successful transition into youth ministry.
I love that we are helping our children develop spiritual faith practices.
I love that we are seeing faith transmitted from one generation to the next.
I love that we are equipping parents to be faith educators, rather than expecting it all to happen in one hour on Sunday.
Lead Pastor, Invercargill Central Baptist
I love children’s energy.
I love that we are trying to get rid of the silos and involve our children in every part of church life, by being intentionally intergenerational. (I say ‘trying’ because this is a work in progress)
