The Children Are Not Dismissed
Worshiping God is not reserved for one or two generations. As a body God calls us to jointly engage in ministry and worship. This article offers a foundation and practical suggestions and can be a catalyst for dialogue and possibilities within the local church.

Legacy
We are at a critical juncture. The church is losing a larger portion of each generation, and we are reaching fewer children than ever before. LEGACY can change that by enabling us to reimagine our children’s place of priority in God’s Kingdom. Utilizing a four-dimensional framework, LEGACY will help us to reach, equip, and empower children to change their trajectory from someday dropping out of the church as adults to, instead, becoming the church of today and the future.
