An Introduction to Children and Family Ministry
Jesus shared His great love for children and His desire that they be inclusive of mission and ministry.  Today's parent will do most anything for their child and parents want to be involved in the educational/training process.  Children's ministry and ministry to families can take on a varied look.  Congregations are encouraged to develop a ministry that meets the needs of children and families.
