Nurturing Children (and all) as Disciples through Worship.
Discover a new approach to ministry with children and families, one that goes beyond simply increasing attendance numbers. Dive into five innovative congregational models that faithfully and intentionally engage children in worship. Gain insight from real-life success stories and learn how to contextualize and scale the models, implementing them with the laity and leaders in your congregation.
The models include pray-grounds, sensory sensitive worship practices, outreach-oriented experiences, school partnerships in the arts, and leadership in band-led worship settings.
The book offers theological perspectives on the importance of worship in children's faith formation. And it provides practical help as your congregation learns to support and serve children not as a means for church growth but as an act of faithfulness. See the Holy Spirit at work as you follow Christ's example of embracing young hearts into the worship community.
