Publisher's Synopsis
THE JUNIOR CHURCH is a place of worship for the Teenagers' church is where the young ages between 12 and 20 years worship. You will agree with me that to handle this age group is very tasking. As a teacher or a pastor, if you are not well trained for the job, you may not find it easy. Many churches are without junior church. Maybe they thought salvation is only meant for the adult. Matthew 18:14 state that it is not the will of the father in heaven that this little one should perish, which means, they likewise need salvation. Romans 3: 23 says"For 'ALL' have sinned..." ALL comprise of men and women, adult and children, old and young. That is why we should make provision for their salvation and how they should grow in the knowledge of God. Many ministries stated the junior Church without adequate planning and preparation. This book gives an insight about the junior Church and the reasons for it. The junior church handlers and their qualifications, the benefits of being Teacher, how to set up a junior Church, the training available to teachers, etc are all looked into in this book.
One of the big problems facing the junior church is the large number of untrained workforce in the ministry. Many workers were sent to the junior church without proper training and when they get there, they don't know what to do. Some that manage to teach the Sunday school manual provided by the church don't know any other thing to do with the children after the Sunday school. As a result, the get bored and the children get bored too, crying and confusion that takes over the remaining service. Against this backdrop, this book is been design to help the untrained teachers and even the trained ones to know other activities they can introduce to their junior church during the service. Practical approach is used in this book for the ordinary person or Teachers to follow and understand. The book is good for any ministry or church that wants to start the junior church. Any ministry or church that refuses to care for her young ones is digging its grave because our children are our tomorrow. Proverbs 22:6 says" Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it"
This book is useful for the Christian parents or guardians that want to make their homes a Christian training house or a place of worship for their children and maids. These activities can likewise apply in teaching children at home because we cannot base our spiritual training for our children on Sunday worship alone. That is where many Christian parentsare failing today especially the pastor and ministers. They don't have enough time for their children but always too busy with the church work or circular work. That is why most of their children are behaving abnormally than unbeliever's children. Eli, Samuel and many more can testify to this because they don't have enough time to train their children and they failed. So be wise!
