WHY isn’t there more information on how churches are doing when it comes to welcoming children in worship?

Get ready to hear some good—and not-so-good—news from research that reveals just that. Augsburg Fortress has completed a groundbreaking national research project with children’s ministry leaders in the ELCA. In this podcast, Worship Whys host Dawn Rundman shares findings that look at the current state of kids in worship across the country. The research allowed worship leaders to speak frankly about their trials and triumphs and to identify obstacles that interfere with their best efforts.

What this research reveals offers practical lessons to help worship leaders tailor their ministry to better serve kids and families.

Researchers asked participants to assess how well they are doing with including children in worship. How would you respond to that question? Dawn invites you to e-mail her with your story: [email protected].
