Without a doubt, the number one question on the lips of almost every organic church planter is, "What do we do with the kids?"
The answer is: You have a variety of options.
Our house church family has always had an open participation policy from the very beginning when it comes to children. Anyone who is a follower of Christ is free to share a testimony, a scripture, a question or an encouragement to the entire church, no matter how young or how old.
However, I know of other organic church fellowships where adults take turns teaching the kids in another room, or on the front yard, each week.
Still others pop on a Veggie Tales DVD in the TV room and let the kids entertain themselves while the adults share in the main room. (Our group alternates between this for the younger children and the open participation for older kids).
If your group does something interesting, share it here on the comments section.
Erik Fish has a great idea about what your house church can do to involve the kids more in your weekly gatherings called "What Do You Do With The Kids?" over at CMAResources.
