Cultivating a Love for Church in Children

Encouraging a genuine appreciation for the church in children involves creating a loving and engaging community. The speaker highlights his own experience of transitioning from a close-knit church in Scranton to a more distant environment in Philadelphia, emphasizing the importance of children feeling loved by both adults and peers within the community. It is crucial to prevent feelings of jealousy that can arise when children perceive the church as taking their parent away from them, thus leading to resentment. By showcasing the church as a vibrant and supportive place rather than just a job, children can be nurtured to embrace and love their church community.
