Equipping churches to engage children in worship.
The Goal
20 churches. Countless lives impacted.
Through the support of the Lilly Endowment Inc.’s Nurturing Children Initiative, “Welcoming Children Into Worship” is empowering 20 Church of God In Christ congregations to reimagine Sunday mornings—where children, teens, and young adults are not just present, but joyfully engaged in every part of worship.
Our Approach:
Knowing
The “Why” and “How” of
intergenerational worship by
identifying theological
presuppositions and learning best
practices
Engaging
Pastors, Parents, Worship Leaders, Children, and Youth Living In Foster Care during congregational Sunday
morning service
Growing
Into a model for African
American churches To
embrace Intergenerational
Worship
"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes Me; and whoever welcomes Me does not welcome Me but the One who sent Me"
