Consistent Church Attendance
One of the biggest areas parents are struggling is with consistent church attendance. Families are attending church less frequently. For many families, consistent attendance is considered once a month or less. Parents who choose sports, recreation and staying home to just “chill” over church attendance are going to have a hard time succeeding spiritually with their children.
Our goal is to see families attend church more consistently. How do we accomplish this? It’s not an easy task for sure. I have seen some success by connecting with parents when their children are still very young.
A parent and child dedication class is a great time to cover this with parents. They are normally open to this when their children are still very young. Wait until their children are in 3rd grade and are already entrenched with sports, weekend activities, etc. and you will have a much harder time getting them to commit to putting God first on Sunday and consistently being at church on weekends. You can get my parent and child dedication class at this link. In this class, I emphasize why consistent church attendance is crucial for young parents and their children.
