Childhood Experience Bearing Fruit
From Ed Stetzer's Blog:
When it comes to church engagement, those who attended Sunday school or other religious programs as children or as teens were much more likely than those without such experiences to attend church and to have an active faith as adults. For instance, among those who frequently attended such programs as a child, 50% said they attended a worship service in the last week, which is slightly higher than the national average and well ahead of those who rarely or never attended children's programs. Among those who frequently attended religious programs as teenagers, 58% said they had attended a worship service in the last week. In comparison, less frequent participation as a teenager correlated with less frequent adult participation.
See, schlepping your kids to church on Sundays actually has a long-term impact on their faith. It's worth it! Be encouraged and keep it up. And be sure to check out the rest of the post.
