What's the purpose of church, and how can it help my children part 2

Support by a loving comunity

The second purpose and benefit church provides is community. When we bring our children up with the support of a loving Christian community, our children are encouraged by others, inspired by their example, and held accountable by a wider group than just their own parents. In addition, we as parents are supported and helped in our task of parenting.

Jesus himself grew up in community and benefited from it just look at Luke 2:42-45

Our children need to be around other people and learn from them. They need to see people other than their parents living God's way. They need to know mentors at every stage of life who teach by living, struggling, and succeeding where our kids can see them. There should be a whole range of people of different ages painting pictures with their lives, words, and actions for our children to store in their memories and draw on in daily life.
