Welcome to All In!
As the Evangelical Covenant Church seeks to make more disciples among more populations in a more caring and just world, current research affirms that our strategies need to include our youngest generations. Through equipping families and growing disciples, we can invite, engage, and empower children as full participants in the body of Christ and the world around them for generations right now.
All In will help churches in this new season of ministry to refocus ministries to children and families which will lead to the following outcomes:
- Equipping Parents to model faith in action and champion their child’s development.
- Developing Disciples who know they are loved and valued in the family of Jesus.
- Empowering Children to use their gifts as they participate fully in the life of the church.
- Nurturing Awareness of ways to serve others by engaging families in the community with compassion.
These four outcomes are what we call the All In framework. They are a strategic part of investing in the faith of the rising generations as, together, we go All In!
The All In Strategy
All In seeks to help church leadership intentionally reach and care for young generations, drawing the entire church body together to nurture faith. This is an especially critical ministry to engage in now because…
- An increasingly larger portion of each generation is leaving the church.
- Younger generations need to see faith in action rather than just hearing it discussed.
- Parents/caregivers have the best opportunity to nurture faith, but they doubt their ability to do it well.
- Churches can help parents strengthen their faith so they are confident disciple makers.
- Churches need to embrace children as a necessary part of the body of Christ.
- God calls all of us to equip children to engage the world with the love of Jesus.
