@Borne2Ride but you can still have fun and learn about Jesus..they have worship and classes that teach the bible..I think this is great Im the the sunday school teacher at my church and we cant afford all these nice things and plus we dont have enough staff but if we did i would love it..and we want to grow our church there is nothing wrong with that..Go into all the world and preach the gospel is what christ told us to do..but he didnt say "how"..man made up "how" you should do things

great idea! If I were a kid, I would not missed any class

This is just one of the many churches on the "How To Grow Your Church" bandwagon, following manmade rules about how to have better attendance, make more money, and be more popular. If you are teaching the true gospel of Jesus Christ and what he has done for you, then you don't need a fancy room because the kids will always want more of the truth. I know when I was young my church wasn't fancy, but I loved being in Sunday school so I could hear about all of the amazing stories of the Bible.

I attend this church faithfully. You need to know and understand the leadership's heart. This body of believers has a passion for souls. And there are so many things trying to capture the children in this worldly system. why not make church a fun place to bring your kids as well as have A bible based Curriculum and a Christ centered message.The worship is full of energy and the presence of God is in the praises of his children. I think it's amazing what they have done.Praise the LORD

There is so much out there wanting your kids attention on the TV and internet. This church is competing on the same level to get their attention and give them the Gospel message. Christianity is about a relationship with Jesus Christ and this is one way a church helps parents to develop it at a young age. I'm all for the new technology - the church better get with the times or it will be empty in 10 years.

awesome kids just love it there

LOL, how do you know the curriculum is not Christ-centred? Boring does not equal blessed, and fun does not equal false.

[Gethsemaneful]

Sorry, I meant *not Christian-centered

[Gethsemaneful]

Man, this is said. Church is about God. If you're just gonna be a daycare service for adults, just take them outside to a playground. Church is Christ-centered, Christian-centered.

Modern day churches really need to pay attention to this. Give the kids reason to want to go to church. If we don't reach the youth in our communities we will lose them to all the other bad influences out there.
