In this age of drugs and violence, ministering to young kids and teenagers has become increasingly critical. A sense of right and wrong should be embedded in the minds of our children. What better way to do this than teaching them the Word of God. Our teenagers’ minds are corrupted by violent crimes committed around them and damaging influences in their lives, be it friends, relatives or abusive parents. Furthermore, being overly attached to materialistic possessions has become the norm among children, which reduces sensitivity toward fellow humans.
Ignorance about the Word of God is one of the reasons that causes children to go astray, so educating them from an early age about the consequences of wicked/immoral actions is essential. Our world is filled with hate, and teaching children how to love, and how to be virtuous members of society – who are an asset to it, is a gargantuan yet crucial task. Additionally, the pressure we dump on kids nowadays regarding exams, studies, and jobs causes a negative state of mind which ought to be rectified as fast as possible. However, balancing the evil and testing influences in this world is an uphill task, one that parents may not be able to cope with on their own.
Under these circumstances, Children’s Ministry in Jacksonville provided by the Southpoint Community Church, is a reliable approach to counterbalance the evil your child is exposed to regularly. Traditionally, children do not feel as if they are part of the Church, and Children’s Ministry is the best way of including them in the church as Jesus originally intended. Moreover, it opens up new avenues for friendship among similar-minded children and teens who will enhance and reinforce each other’s faith and morals. It has been proven that ethics or principles that take root early on in life, are tough to uproot later in life, and hence the ideals we wish the world should embody can be instilled in our children. This would be a step in the right direction toward that goal.
