How do you engage kids in a church service?
Kids church services are a big deal. They’re the place where kids learn to worship, where they practise sharing their faith with others, and where they can be themselves without feeling like it’s all wrong. There’s no one way to do things – kids’ ministries are as varied as the people who lead them.

- Welcome children to church. When children walk through the doors, make a point to welcome them in some way. The greeters can say the child’s name and say hello.
- Speak directly to the children at some point during worship. Another way to truly engage children in worship is to speak directly to them. This doesn’t have to be big; it could be as simple as taking a moment to say a little something to welcome the children (perhaps when you’re also welcoming visitors).
- Give them their own bulletin that matches the reading or sermon. Handing children a special bulletin of their own helps kids know that church is for them too.
- Choose at least one song or hymn that you know children like to sing. When choosing the music for your church service, engage with your music leader or worship team to ensure there is at least one song that children may know or like to sing along with.

Welcome starts at the door and goes right into all of the rooms. Picture a host welcoming a guest into their home. “Welcome to my home! I hope you have a great time here and enjoy seeing all of the things that make it so special.” Welcome is not generally included in a run sheet, but it is one of the most important things you should remember to inc...
We use a consistent countdown to bring familiarity and engagement. A predictable direction helps kids to know what is coming next. The newest version of our countdown video includes a challenge that leaders can complete with the children.
Like in “big” church, we worship Jesus every time we gather. The first thing to remember is that it’s all about Jesus; not about us. We may want to make our services entertaining and fun with games, songs, and videos, but if we get too focused on these things, we can lose sight of the real reason we’re there: to bring praise and worship to Jesus.
Kids are encouraged to pray or share good reports from their lives. It’s just one way for kids to build meaningful relationships with their peers and share the good things and the hard things in life. The more they can talk about these experiences and see God at work in their lives, the better!
It’s not about the amount of money they bring; it’s about teaching children the biblical principle of giving. “Offering” is more than just a word. It’s about making sure that our kids grow up knowing the importance of giving back to their community and how it feels when they help others in need – truly understanding “It’s not what you have, but wha...
Our Big Message sets up the preaching by encouraging questions in kids’ minds that will be answered in the word. Videos can create curiosity and draw kids in by asking questions that will be answered later.
Just like praise and worship, every time we gather, we hear the preaching of God’s word. In our latest season of Big Curriculum, we have integrated preaching right into the center of our video elements. But we firmly believe God wants to speak to His children each time we gather, so there is always space to answer the questions of individual childr...
We want to take every opportunity to minister and cultivate children’s spirituality. From the littlest need like a scraped knee or life-threatening situations within a child’s life, bring God right into the center. As Matthew 18:20 states, “For where two or three come together unto my name, there am I with them.”
We want to take the time to connect on a personal level with the kids and help them cement what they have just heard. Small groups allow us to have deeper conversations without having anyone feel like they are the only one with the question.
Think about the children God has placed in your community to minister to. Take these elements and prayerfully create a place for them to grow in their faith, where they can be themselves without feeling like it’s all wrong. It may not look the same as every other church service out there – and that’s okay! You don’t have to do things “the way every...
- Part of the Action. St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, a congregation of 600 in Medford, Wisconsin, incorporates children into church services “in as many ways and as often as possible,” pastor Peter Warmanen says.
- Serving in Worship. At First Lutheran Church, another small congregation in Xenia, Ohio, children are involved in many aspects of worship. They light candles for services and special events, assist with the Lord’s Supper, and even help clean up after services and events.
- Learning in Seasons. Children play a key role in the changing seasons at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, a small church inToms Brook, Virginia, with 57 weekly worshippers.
- Helping and Hands-On. Numerous hands-on opportunities also exist for children to play supporting roles in worship at Immanuel, a medium-size church in Loveland, Colorado.
- Form a committee! Not just any old committee, but one that includes children of several different age groups. Also include at least one adult who’ll be the children’s advocate when discussing changes with the worship committee.
- Include children. Get kids doing things often during the service as readers, soloists, acolytes, greeters, and ushers. Give them each a job and teach them how to do it.
- Teach kids about your worship traditions. Incorporate the parts of the worship service, such as a special prayer response or offering hymn, into the Sunday school hour.
- Involve specific classes. Have different Sunday school classes and their teachers lead the prayers of the church during the worship service.
