“What would happen if we began treating children as equals on our mutual quests to follow Jesus?”
― David M. Csinos, Children's Ministry in the Way of Jesus

“Too often, churches hold stereotypical views of children. They can buy into stereotypes and generalizations that kids are happiest when they are running around (or even that they need to run around all the time), that children always make lots of noise, that they crave constant entertainment, or that they have the most fun when they’re on the verge of being out of control. But by viewing each unique child through stereotypes and labels we attach to them, children’s ministry can become co-opted by consumerist, market-driven agendas, and it forgets the church’s mission of offering radical hospitality to the least of these.”
― David M. Csinos, Children's Ministry in the Way of Jesus

“we remain faithful to the way of Jesus, who took a child into his arms and saw her for the unique person she was, when we offer radical hospitality to children for who they are, regardless of their race, interests, socioeconomic background, gender and so on.”
― David M. Csinos, Children's Ministry in the Way of Jesus

“YOU CAN SHAPE A KID’S FAITH BY CONNECTING THEM TO CARING ADULTS WHO WILL BE PRESENT IN THEIR LIFE.”
― Reggie Joiner, Creating a Lead Small Culture: Make Your Church a Place Where Kids Belong
