Children’s church does not train children to worship. Too often it is entertainment, or at best “edutainment.” Worship is not a show about God. Worship is about God. It is much more difficult to introduce an eleven or twelve year old to worship than a four year old. Every year delayed fosters the attitude that worship is about me. The mind-set grows that worship is boring or must meet my needs to earn my participation. This hinders the spiritual growth and development of children.

Think about what children will miss if they are excluded from worship. They will miss hymns and songs of faith, the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, missionaries, testimonies, the message, prayers and offerings,. They will miss the sense of closeness, warmth, and security that comes from worshipping together with family and friends. The most anticipated hour of the week should be our corporate worship of God. Is it wise to exclude those we love the most from that time?

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.”
