Raising kids is hard. If there’s one thing every Christian parent can relate to, it’s the desire to raise children who are well-adjusted, who make wise decisions with their lives and peers, and, most of all, who know and love Jesus. When they can grow up surrounded by the fellowship of the church, it’s a great step in the right direction for those parents who have no idea where to start. Below, Oak View Baptist Church, in High Point, NC, shares why being in a church community can help your family grow together and grow in Christ.

From the earliest infancy through the teenage years, your kiddos will be vulnerable in one way or another. The job of the godly parent isn’t necessarily to shield them from difficult situations, but to prepare them for these hardships. When you can entrust them to the Christ-centered environment of the church, they’ll have the opportunity to learn how to deal with life in a safe place. When trials do come to them, there will be a lot of people to catch them.

FellowshipThey say it takes a village to raise a child, and the church is the perfect village for this. Your children need quality mentors who can teach them the truths of Scripture. No matter how much they love and trust you, their parents, sometimes they need to hear solid advice and encouragement from other sources as well. That’s what living in fellowship means.

Having quality friends who encourage them in the right direction is also essential to a healthy childhood. In a great church filled with other parents who are seeking to honor God by raising their children to know him, your kids can find friends who will encourage them towards good things instead of bad. Having a solid core group of friends is important for impressionable young minds. The church can provide this.
