CFTROU 0205: Kids: How We Engage Kids | Theology, Philosophy, Methodology


Family is a big deal to God; it’s a big thing in The Bible, and it’s a big thing here at Family Church! So, we love to spend our time having intentional conversations about how we pass our faith on to the next generation. Today, we are joined by Family Church Kids Pastors Zach Rickards and Keenan Casteel to walk us through the theology, philosophy, and methodology of our kid’s ministry. We discover why kid’s ministry is a number one priority at Family Church before learning about how we show up for our youth, how we serve our kids through the kid’s ministry mission statement, the role of parents in bringing their kids close to God, and how our theology impacts our philosophy and methodology. We also unpack how The Bible is communicated to our kids at Family Church, what it means to have childlike faith, and how we ensure that our kids are always having fun as they learn about Biblical foundational truths.  

Key Points From This Episode: 

  • Understanding why kid’s ministry is so important to Family Church.
