Not being the high priest: children’s ministry with Parenting for Faith values

Lauren, a children's pastor, talks about how she shapes her ministry to empower children to connect personally with God, without her functioning as a high priest.

If we are looking to enable our children to connect with God personally, then we as children’s leaders need to go on a journey of changing how we equip children to encounter God within a Sunday programme. How can we shape our programmes to empower children in their individual relationship with God rather than making them reliant on us to create a corporate experience?
