Worship
The Church has a child formational crisis.
Entertainment, relevance and moralism have proven insufficient to form lasting faith in our children.
Jesus, the Gospel as well as recent research are clear: the most effective way to impart faith to our children is child discipleship. But how?
Join like-minded speakers and attendees to discuss, pray and pursue more robust and purposeful child discipleship in our churches and homes.
Join Us in Nashville or Online
Come solo or gather your leaders for the most intentional conversations about child discipleship you will have all year.
The Forum is complete with thought provoking talks, intentional conversations and live prayer and worship alongside thousands of others passionate about child discipleship.
