It’s vital for our children to know that they were created by God on purpose, for a purpose. Whether you are a children’s ministry leader or a parent, this fact is true.

And when we introduce children to God, and help them to know Him more, they can discover their identity in Him.

As they begin to know Him, love Him, and follow Him, their lives will be rooted in a relationship with Him. So, as it’s vital for them to know they were created on purpose, it’s just as vital that we walk with them on a path to discover what God says about them.

By sharing God’s Big Story and helping them find their place, we are helping them along this path.

As they begin to know Him, love Him, and follow Him, their lives will be rooted in a relationship with Him.

Let’s answer a few questions:

What can we do to make God known? 

  • Make sure your children’s curriculum and resources focus on revealing God, His character, and His incredible love and sovereignty. An upward focus helps us center our hearts.
  • Create environments that uphold and display God’s truth in your spaces.
  • Focus on establishing a strong foundation for learning His Word.
  • Cultivate relationships with Jesus through relationships with one another. Have leaders share personal faith stories as appropriate.

How can we pour into a Christlike identity?

  • Identify Scripture that speaks to God’s call and purpose—and help your children hide it in their hearts.
