CHURCH
pastors, mentors, leaders
“Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching”
(1 Timothy 4:13).
Let the Church Be the Church
The Bible presents a family-centered, church-supported strategy for discipling children, and this needs to shape how we minister to young people. Parents rely heavily on the church for the discipleship of a child, yet ironically, they attend church less and less often.
Lifeway research finds the frequency of church attendance impacts lifelong faith in Christ: “For each drop in frequency of family church service attendance while growing up, a young adult has a corresponding 1.25% drop in spiritual health. . . . A widespread American trend is having an effect, and our children are paying the price.”
A child’s spiritual health and biblical worldview will, in part, be shaped by involvement in a local church. With as little as one to two hours a week, family and children’s ministries have to be intentional in order for their influence to outweigh that of media and secular education.
RenewaNation champions a biblical worldview discipleship model that is family-focused, church-supported, and school-enriched.
The family is the front line of ministry.
The current paradigm for ministry is church-centered and family-supported, but God has always planned for the church to support the family and for the family to be the front line of ministry within the home.
The church must not replace family ministry but rather strategically shift its emphasis to equipping parents and grandparents for family ministry. Church leaders must begin asking themselves whether they are doing everything within their ministry parameters to educate parents and grandparents and partner with them for the good of the next generation.
At RenewaNation, we inspire and equip churches to understand and fulfill their biblical role to support parents and grandparents in giving their children and grandchildren a biblical worldview.
