We believe that the family is God’s lab for learning how to “do life.” Therefore, the family needs to have regular times in which it worships in reading the Bible, discussing Biblical truth, serving, praying together, etc. The father is responsible to take the lead in this area. However, if there is no father or if the father is not a follower of Jesus, the mother may be the primary spiritual leader of the family. At our church, we seeks to reinforce this family dynamic in the service. Although we do have times in which younger children have a more age-appropriate environment; most of the time we want families to be together in our service.
