How to Raise Children Who Love the Church
byjoshmulvihill

It is a heartbreaking reality that a large percentage of young people walk away from the church when they reach adulthood. As parents, this outcome can feel inevitable, but it does not have to be. You can take proactive, intentional steps today to help your children see their need for the church, value its community, and joyfully participate in corporate worship from an early age.

In this episode, we share practical, non-negotiable principles to help your family prioritize the local church. We discuss the importance of consistent attendance, being mindful of how you speak about the church in front of your children, and the value of committing to one church community for long-term stability. You will also learn how to transition your children into corporate worship and help them build meaningful relationships with church leaders.

Key Takeaways From This Episode:

  • The One-Time Decision: How making church attendance a non-negotiable part of your weekly family schedule eliminates ongoing debates and prioritizes Sunday morning worship over sports or work.
  • Prioritizing Corporate Worship: Why children should sit in the main service once they reach kindergarten age, and practical strategies to help them stay engaged.
  • Guarding Your Speech: The impact of your words on your child’s perspective of the church, and why negative critiques should be kept in private conversations.
  • Stability in Commitment: The spiritual and relational benefits of staying committed to one local church throughout your children’s childhood.
