Children

For children baptized in The Christian Community, and for those whose parents choose it, the Sunday Service for Children and religious instruction keep alive and renew children’s awareness of their origin in the spirit, their heavenly home. Attendance begins around age seven, leading to Confirmation at age 14.

The inner truth of the child is recognized and supported in religious instruction, which supple­ments the children’s worship service. It follows the stages of the religious development of humanity reflected in the child’s development:

· Veneration of the spirit in nature (myths and legends)

· Security in the divine guidance of destiny (Old Testament)

· Becoming aware of the Christ in individual human life (New Testament)

For children, the experience of finding a spiritual home on earth is strengthened through the Sunday Service, festival celebrations and Confirmation.
