Lesson 2: The Significance of Child Discipleship
Reaching children with the Gospel and discipling them to be life-long followers of Jesus is a key mission and responsibility of the local church. Children’s ministry is biblical and it reflects the heart of God!
- God loves and values children – we see this all over Scripture!
- The Bible tells us to do it – child discipleship is NOT optional.
- Childhood is a spiritually critical time of life.
- Children’s ministry has a far reach – the “ripple effect” of child discipleship impacts generations for eternity.
Watch the video below to follow along as Kris Smoll, the executive director and founder of Discovery Land Global, unpacks these ideas about child discipleship.
