the reason we teach this unit

The children will learn that they are an important part of the Church. They will learn more about God through the Bible.

They will learn that the members of the Church help each other.

They will understand that an offering is an important part of the Christian life.

The Church has been called the Bride of Christ, the Body of Christ, the community of believers, the People of God, the spiritual family, and the group of Christians. These different names come together in one truth: the Church is made up of people who know God and have been saved by the blood of Christ. The Church functions as communities of believers who have been assigned the responsibility of announcing the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Early Church marked the guidelines to follow for future generations of believers. In the book of Acts, we can learn how they resolved conflicts, managed finances, preached the Good News, and assigned leaders. This leaves us a guide to know how God wants his Church to be led.

Through these stories, encourage your preschoolers to participate in your community of believers through learning, fellowship, praise, and prayer.
