Children's church has become popular because of bus ministries bringing in large numbers of children without parents and without training or experience in church attendance. Children's church is just about mandatory in churches with a bus ministry. The bus ministry with a large number of children coming without parents has been the number one reason for the development of special church programs for children. Children's church will provide a church service aimed at the age group. The regular church service is aimed primarily at adults.
Children draw, read, play, or sleep.
A church service that has content and format that considers the age group needs and interests can be a valuable plus to the church's program. Children's church does involve children in the church service. The people in the age group service participate by ushering, receiving the offering, praying, providing special music, giving testimonies, and other things. Children's church teaches children about worship. It is hard to teach about worship in an adult service where people have been coming for years and years.
