Promoting Family Worship in the Church and in the Home<\/h4>\nPromoting Family Worship in the Church and in the Home<\/h4>\nBecause of cultural American norms, it is easy to assume that the corporate gatherings of the church are for adults and that Children’s programs are a substitute for children. But as a general principle, it seems consistent with the Bible’s description of the family and of the church to view corporate gatherings as being for all members of the covenant community. At Emmanuel Bible Church we love your children and we love to see families worshiping together! We encourage you to train your children to worship the Lord with you.<\/p>\n
Here are some articles to help you work this out in the context of your family. You can pull these articles up off our website. Go to this format as the Pastor\u2019s Page and click on the article.<\/p>\n
