Our Understanding and Practice

    Epiphany welcomes children in worship.  Worship is Christ-centered praise and adoration.  And worship is the most important way by which people learn what it means to be a follower of Christ.  Children themselves learn worship by worshiping with the congregation Sunday after Sunday.  They learn:

    •That they belong to Christ and are welcome in His Church;

    •The stories from the Bible, read and interpreted, through which God speaks directly to them;

    •They witness the visible grace of Baptism and Communion as guarantees of God’s love in His Son;

    •The Lord’s Prayer, the Apostles’ Creed and other elements of the service from memory;

    •How to build family and community which they may draw from as they grow older;

    •The enrichment that comes from music and art as expressions of praise and as a human response to God’s grace in Christ.

    Bringing children to worship may not always be easy, but Epiphany believes it is an essential part of a child’s growth toward Christ.
