Church was not optional to me as a child. My family and I went to church just about every Sunday. It was a traditional Black Baptist Church located in “the hood” not far from downtown Atlanta. Although I learned about Jesus in Sunday School (and I’m so grateful for that), and participated in the Christmas and Easter programs, church was still not fun to me as a child. It was more for adults and the children were basically an afterthought. So, when we started Eagles Nest Church in 2012 we had a Children’s Ministry day one! Our philosophy regarding our children was and still is: Fun, Faith, and Future! I believe church ought to be fun for kids. So we have tried to make Eagle Kidz about building our children’s faith, and also letting them have a lots of fun!
