1 Davidson United Methodist Church Age Level Program Ministry Milestones So often, Christian educators are asked about the different stages of faith development for children and youth. Parents want to know when their child should know the Lord s Prayer or go through Confirmation. The purpose of this guide is to paint a broad picture of what milestones children and/or youth will experience while participating in the life and ministries of Davidson United Methodist Church. This is not a checklist, but simply a road map for each child s spiritual journey. There will be some milestones that will not apply to every child, or do not apply to a child yet due to age or development. Children learn very differently. The suggestions offered at each milestone are based upon age-appropriate faith development. Consider these ministry milestones tools to help guide families in their child s spiritual growth. When a child is baptized, parents and the congregation promise as an act of worship to nurture that child s faith development. The church then promises to help parents on this journey. Children and youth learn about faith first at home, second at church. The church s intent is to put these milestones in the hands of families to use as they see fit within their family. Throughout the year, Davidson United Methodist Church will offer a series of Milestone workshops and other Milestone events for children, youth and their parents. These will include, but not be limited to, a Welcome to the Church Family visit for new additions to a family, prayer, worship, the sacraments (Baptism, Holy Communion), learning to use the Bible, human sexuality, Confirmation, and seasonal learning (Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter).
2 All children and youth Are invited to receive Holy Communion, regardless of their age. Are invited to attend Sunday School and Worship. Are invited to participate in all programming relating to their current school grade/preschool class. Are protected by the DUMC Safe Sanctuaries Policy (see to read the complete policy). Parents can help their children grow in their faith by Being caring and responsive to their child s needs. Talking with their child about God, community, and love. Supporting the development of their child s abilities and understanding of their own identity as a unique child of God. Showing their child that God is important in your daily life and talking about how God works in our lives. Showing children what it means to be a disciple of Christ in the world, while being mindful of the need for safe boundaries. Teaching their children to give their best to God through stewardship by caring for their church, all people, and the earth. Being open to the ways that children experience God in ways they are not sure how to articulate. Accepting that their child is going to have many questions you may or may not be able to answer, being willing to hear their questions and have open conversations about them. Consistent attendance and participation in Children s Christian educational opportunities offered.
