Children know God. They encounter God in diverse ways as they walk
along the spiritual journey. Amidst this diversity, four distinct
avenues for connecting with God emerge in the lives of children:
word, emotion, symbol, and action. These are the four spiritual
styles, broad approaches to spirituality and faith through which
children experience God and make sense of their lives in the world
around them.Children's Ministry that Fits blends insightful
research, relevant theory, and practical ministry into a guidebook
for discovering and understanding children's spiritual styles.
Drawing from theology, personal experience, and the spiritual lives
of children, David M. Csinos offers practical wisdom that will help
pastors, parents, and teachers to move beyond one-size-fits-all
approaches to children's ministry and begin nurturing the spiritual
lives of children in welcoming and inclusive environments.
Attract kids to church, the logic often goes, and you get parents
in the pews. All that's left, then, is to get the kids out of the
way. Here children's ministers David Csinos and Ivy Beckwith draw
on research in human development and spiritual formation to show
how children become disciples and churches become centers of
lifelong discipleship. For too long, the local church has focused
primarily on programs for children rather than ways of doing
ministry with children. But in light of emerging missional
movements, the church is changing and forming a new kind of
ecclesial culture. And children's ministry must follow suit. Csinos
and Beckwith propose a new way of thinking for these modern
churches--they suggest that children can contribute to our
theological understandings, as well as invest in and practice
Biblical justice just like adult church members. Here is a unique
resource that explores children's ministry in light of true
spiritual formation and discipleship.
