CFTROU 0208: Kids: Leading Elementary Kids Worship

Today, we’re diving into Elementary Kids Worship at Family Church, known as The Treehouse. Joining us are Zack Rickards and Erica Brooks. In our conversation, we dive into the philosophy behind why we line up all our teachings on a Sunday, discuss what Kids Worship looks like at Family Church, and explain why we decided to have separate worship for adults and kids. We break down how the team outlines and plans Treehouse worship experiences, unpack the different elements incorporated to help share the big idea of the week, and share ways we ensure our kids build intentional Biblical literacy.

Key Points From This Episode:

  • Zack defines what Kids Worship looks like at Family Church.
