Ckidsphoto.jpg (21178 bytes)EP is totally committed to assisting its churches and members to realize the urgency to reach out to the millennial generation of children and youth who are being lost to the church. Caring, reaching, loving and incorporating into the body of Christ is our concern. Equipping parents, older adults, and church leaders in general to know how to bridge into their lives is our training objective. Believing that we have a closing window of opportunity to reach this younger generation before they reach adulthood, we are focusing our energies and efforts on networking throughout the PCA to demonstrate God’s heart for these children.

Essential Reading

By George Barna. The influences bom-barding our children's moral development can be deadly. But few parents and church leaders realize how critical it is to start developing a child's biblical worldview from the very earliest years of life. The church often doesn't realize that a child's moral development is set by the age of nine. The answer is for churches to recognize the need to come alongside parents to provide them biblical worldview training, parenting information, counseling, etc., that will equip them to help their children become spiritually mature.  Recommended by Sue Jakes from CEP.
