If you have the same question, then I’m glad you
stopped by this blog. Interestingly, some churches have opted out of the name
“Sunday school” and replaced it with “children’s ministry.” Or something more
captivating such as Route 66 or Kidmin. So, why change the name if the ministry
concept is still the same as before?
It may have something to do with making things
appealing for the children so, parents can encourage them to attend church.
Some reluctant kids may hide under the covers when they hear the words “Sunday
school”. I mean kids already attend 5 days of regular school a week and any
more might be dreadful or boring to them. I think I had the same thought when I
was a little kid and my parents encouraged me to attend.
What’s
more important is does these changes take away from the biblical teaching that
has been provided in the past? If the sound truth of the biblical doctrine
remains the highest priority then, it's fine. Also, with all the
changes and upgrades (lights, decorations, sign-up stations, entertainment, and
prizes) does it lead to decrease
teaching we may have some problems to address.
Previously
children had ministry catered to them on Sundays but, as times have changed
more time is spent towards them with weekday and Saturday services added. If
parents are willing to bring them to these services, then it's awesome to have
more time to fellowship with God.

I blog again have a blessed day,
