Childcare.
I could wrap this post up now and my point would be made.
No matter what it is about, if a church doesn’t offer some form of child minding then they are sending the message that those with small children don’t want to be heard.
Why?
Because, the reality is, the majority of families will not attend otherwise.
For a demographic which is so highly desired by churches, to make important decisions without their input is foolishness.
No childcare shows them that they are not valued.
No childcare strips families of their voice.
No childcare alienates them from contributing.
No childcare stops them from feeling truely included.
If you wonder why churches seem to be guided by those in retirement age, it might be because they don’t put in systems for families to effectively be involved.
