“You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” Deuteronomy 6:7
The goal of our children and student ministries is to echo the biblical truths young people are learning in their homes. We recognize that no one spends more time with or will have a greater spiritual impact on a child’s life like a child’s parents. God has given moms and dads the great privilege and responsibility of being the primary disciplers of their children (Deuteronomy 6, Psalm 78). But even though parents are called to be the primary disciplers of their children, that does not mean they must be the sole disciplers of their children. Therefore, it is our hope at JFBC to both equip parents to disciple their children and reinforce through the children’s ministry what they are teaching in their homes.
