NEW CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES PODCAST

Christian Grandparenting

Although the word “grandparent” is not found in the Bible, we can find all throughout scripture the mandate to disciple and participate in the spiritual formation of our families.

This month’s podcast features Larry Fowler who is known for his influence and passion to make Christian Grandparenting a priority in the church today. Join us as we not only hear what scripture says about this mandate, but gain practical insights and tips on how we work together as a church family to influence the next generation of children and those that love them the most.

Membership Matters for Kids

Church membership places us in a loving community where we learn about God’s Word, fellowship with other believers, receive Christian care, and find opportunities to give and serve others in Jesus’ name. Covenant membership in the Church of God of Prophecy is open to all believing children.

The Membership Matters for Kids guide is intended for elementary-age children and is a companion to the Membership Matters course provided by the Church of God of Prophecy International Offices.
