Why Should Our Church Start a Midweek Kids’ Ministry Program?
God places a high value on children. They are important to him. Ministry to children must be a priority in the church.
People were bringing little children to Jesus to have Him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, He was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And He took the children in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them. – Mark 10:13-16 (NIV)
Today’s kids come from a variety of home environments, face a myriad of challenges and are bombarded with secular messages and technology seven days a week. Weekend services are great for discipleship, but an hour or two on Sunday morning isn’t enough time to meet all their needs. Pathway Kids’ various midweek ministry options can help your church build a solid faith foundation for children that will reinforce Sunday lessons and reach out to this generation of children.
All of Pathway Kids’ midweek programs provide children with an additional opportunity to form healthy Christian friendships that can last a lifetime, learn how to apply biblical principles to everyday situations, memorize Scripture they have studied, and develop life skills in a safe and fun environment. Kids will learn that whether they are building a birdhouse, baking cookies or studying the Bible, God cares about everything they do. Our goal is to teach Christ in every aspect of life.
