Children’s ministry in churches didn’t always exist. In fact for the majority of church history it didn’t. It is kind of a new idea that parents would drop off their kids with someone else and expect them to disciple their children to be life long learners of Jesus.
Doug Paul, a pastor at Eikon Church in Virgina, played a part in the research done in regards to how to best disciple kids. He says, “Children were more likely to have vibrant faith if the parents weren’t even Christians than if the parents went to church and didn’t act as the primary disciplers of their kids.”
