From the Pastor The Importance of a Father’s Leadership

If a father does not go to church, no matter how faithful his wife’s

devotions, only one child in 50 will stay active in their spiritual

lives as an adult. If a father is spiritually active and attends church,

regardless of the faithfulness of mom, nearly three-quarters of their

children will become and remain spiritually faithful. If a father

attends church, regardless of his wife’s attendance, between half and two-thirds of their

offspring will attend church regularly or occasionally.

We can also consider some other statistics:

When both parents attend Sunday school, 72% of the children attend Sunday

school when grown.

When only the father attends Sunday school, 55% of the children attend

when grown.

When only the mother attends Sunday school, 15% of the children attend

when grown.

● When neither parent attends Sunday school, only 6% of the children attend

when grown.

Many of today’s churches, as well as IBC, will emphasize children’s ministry. If a

child becomes a Christian, there is a slight chance of the rest of the family becoming

Christians, too. If the mother is the first to become a Christian, 1 of every 5 families

sees the rest of the family saved. However, when the father is first to come to Christ,

9 of 10 families see the household will follow. Why is it important to be in your place

on Sundays? Someone you love very much is learning from you!

See you Sunday!
