Help Your Child Grow

Many parents ask, "What can I do to encourage my child's spiritual development?"

  • Lovingly talk to your child about God and Jesus as you go through daily activities.
  • Pray with your child daily.
  • Begin reading age-appropriate Bibles and Christian books to your child.
  • Allow even your youngest children to have and carry their own Bible.
  • Begin building trust and security for your child by meeting his/her needs in a prompt and loving way.
  • Use nature items and talk about the things God made.
  • Be consistent in attendance at church; make coming to church a priority and habit for your family.
  • Reinforce at home the lesson your child is taught at church.
  • Let your child see you worship.
