The evangelization and discipleship of children as a primary responsibility of and privilege for the church.
The expected outcomes of the work done on this issue were:
- Consider ways in which we challenge the church to be more involved in children’s evangelism and provide examples of best practice.
- Suggest practical ways children in our secular societies can hear about Jesus.
- Indicate ways in which the church could think creatively about keeping children active in its fellowship and to become an ongoing part of the church community.
