Our community group is not just for the adults, but it is also for the kids. We want to talk to them about the Bible and Jesus. We want to equip them to be on mission as well. They are a part of our community group family too; so, let's get them in on some discussion. Let's disciple them. Let's care for them. Let's make sure they know they are part of this group too.
Most of the activities below can be led by one of the elementary age children who can read well (suggest 2nd grade & up). This helps the children feel ownership and feel like a member of the community group.
