Integrating Children and Children’s Ministry into the Life of your Church Plant or Network

Church plants often focus on reaching adults first – but have we unintentionally overlooked the very ones Jesus welcomed first: the children? They are a vital part of the community and equally in need of the gospel. How can we include children in the life and mission of a church plant? Zechariah envisioned a city where “the public squares will be filled with boys and girls playing there” (8:5). Our churches should reflect that vision and be places of joy, safety, and growth. Together, we will explore practical, biblically grounded, strategies to integrate children into the heart of your church plant/network! Let us reimagine church as a place where children belong and thrive!
