What About Making Little Christs?

C.S. Lewis (yes, him again) also notes that "the church exists for nothing else but to draw men (and women, and youth, and children, and college students, and... you get the idea) into Christ, to make them little Christs."

Being involved in First Baptist Church Athens has shown me a wonderful area where they are holding to this idea of "little Christs" developers.

ParentLink Classes.

This unique Sunday School experience gives parents an opportunity to experience an introduction to the lesson the child will learn. Then the children go to small groups and parents of the children go to a small group, ParentLink, where they discuss the lesson in depth and how they can better implement the lesson into their children's weekly schedule.

This ministry is remarkable because it gives a parents a better handle on how to fully live out Psalms 119:11, "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."

ParentLink helps turn parents into "little Christs" which in turn helps them turn their children into "little Christs".
