We all know that our teen years can be some of the toughest days of our lives. It is a time in our lives where temptation is strong. Therefore, being in church during this time in our lives is so important. Fellowship with other Christians, participation in regular Bible study and worship service attendance can help to form the Biblical foundation that your teen needs.
I know that encouraging a teen to stay in church can be difficult. The urge for them to stay home is strong after spending a late night out with their friends. However, if you encourage church attendance in your child as they are young, and continue this as they age then they are more likely to make it a priority in their own lives.
Encouragement is what should be done, never forcing. The Bible is clear on this when it says, “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
As teens become more and more involved in church, especially in groups such as youth group. They are able to form meaningful relationships with other Christians, both their age and with their leaders. These relationships are yet another thing that will keep them coming to church. They will also help them to learn how to act as a Christian should and will give them the additional support that they need.
Another thing that a teen can do with their involvement in church is to begin to serve. There are many areas in church that even a teen can be of service. Learning to serve is yet another duty of us as Christians and is something that can teach your teen so much and help them to grow in their faith. This growth will help them to grow as a person and as a Christian making them more committed.
As you encourage your child, and watch them get involved do you all you can to be involved as well. Them seeing your positive example and that you too are being proactive and involved will help them to stay committed and to stay involved as well. It will be something that you can look forward to doing together as a family and will keep your family unit strong. Church attendance is an important part of your lives as Christians and will prove to be truly beneficial as you go through the years of raising a teen.
