Children in Church – A good idea or not?

Children are not a disturbance in the church they are a sign that the church is alive. Their laughter, whispers, and little footsteps remind us that God’s house is not a museum for the perfect, but a home for generations being raised in His presence. When we see children in the church, even when they are restless, it is a testimony that the Word of God continues to reach the hearts of families.

The absence of children in the church is far more troubling than their noise. It means the future is growing silent, and faith is not being passed down. Jesus Himself welcomed the children, saying, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14, KJV). He saw their value, their innocence, and their place in His kingdom.

Let us, therefore, rejoice when children fill the sanctuary. Their presence is the sound of tomorrow’s worshippers, tomorrow’s preachers, and tomorrow’s intercessors. A noisy church is a living church because where there is life, there is hope, and where there is hope, Christ is still at work.
