Kids & Parents Need Trustworthy Guides

Raising children to know, love and follow Jesus has always been a challenge—even before child-sized tablets, video games and YouTube were in the picture! Today, there are more demands on kids’ and parents’ time, children are exposed to sensitive topics much sooner, and parents are forced to find new ways to pass down biblical thinking in a world that often opposes Christian values.

To better understand the dynamics shaping childhood faith formation today, we were commissioned by OneHope to study Christian parents' deepest pain points, greatest concerns and dearest hopes for their children.

The result is an 80-page report filled with findings to help ministry leaders and parents partner in faith formation, all with the goal of teaching children to:

• Engage with the Bible (which correlates with a host of benefits)
• Navigate technology and the independence it brings
• Follow Jesus in a resilient way

If you recognize the importance of equipping children with the tools they’ll need to mature in faith, this report contains data and insights you can use to minister more intentionally to kids and better support their Christian parents.

Included in the Church Kit:

• Print copy of the report of the full color report
• Digital copy of the report (can be shared with up to 10 users)
• Presenter Slides that you can use to share these findings with your team or congregation
• 4 application guides (Top 10 Tips for Parents and Churches, 10 Facts Every Parent Should Know, 8 Questions Every Children's Minster Should Ask Themselves, Infographic of the major findings from the study) - digital
• Video interview with author and children's minister Michelle Anthony offering practical solutions for engaging parents and children

Format: Paperback, digital. Full color, infographics, 80 pages.

Suggests simple craft projects and games for parents and Sunday-school teachers to share with preschoolers, accompanied by advice on lesson goals, preparation, and ways of relating the activities to the Bible.
