Children are, and always had been, the future of the church.

Research shows that in Australia the vast majority of adult Christians make a commitment to Christ before they are 18 years old, and others come to faith as adults through relationships established with churches and Christians through their children. This is a potential harvest for God’s kingdom that needs more workers.
