Equipping churches to engage children in worship
The Goal
20 churches...countless lives
Through the support of the Lilly Endowment Inc.’s Nurturing Children Through Worship and Prayer Initiative, “Welcoming Children Into Worship” is empowering 20 churches in the Church Of God In Christ denomination to reimagine Sunday mornings where children, are joyfully engaged in every aspect of Sunday morning 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."
