Children’s Retreat: Let the Little Children Come to Me

Home / Retreats / Retreat for Children

“But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.’”

— Matthew 19:14

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus shows His deep love and care for children, emphasizing their importance in the Kingdom of God. At [Church Name], we believe that the faith formation of children is a vital part of their spiritual growth. It is our responsibility to teach them about God’s love, His Kingdom, and how they can live in harmony with His will.

At DWRC, we believe that it is more important than ever for youth to be mentored, guided, and grounded in the Word of God. Our Youth Retreat is designed to give young people a chance to step back, reflect, and engage with their faith in a meaningful way.

Teaching Children the Kingdom Principles

Our Children’s Retreat is designed to nurture their hearts and minds through a fun, interactive, and engaging experience that lays the foundation for a lifetime of faith. By creating an environment that is welcoming, joyful, and spiritually enriching, we aim to instill in them the values of the Gospel and a lasting thirst for the Springs of Living Waters.

In Matthew 19:14, Jesus encourages us to bring children to Him, and we believe this is central to their spiritual development. It is our responsibility to nurture their faith by teaching them the Kingdom principles that will guide them as they grow. Our retreat will focus on:

  • Understanding God’s Love: Helping children grasp the depth of God’s love for them and how they can live as His beloved children.
  • Learning Biblical Values: Introducing children to key Bible stories and teachings that emphasize love, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.
  • Fostering a Relationship with Jesus: Encouraging a personal relationship with Jesus through prayer, worship, and fun activities that reflect His presence in their lives.

What to Expect at the Children’s Retreat

The Children’s Retreat is designed to be an activity-based learning experience where children will not only have fun but also encounter God’s love in meaningful ways. Here’s what they can look forward to:

Interactive Bible Lessons

Age-appropriate teachings from the Bible that highlight God’s love, the teachings of Jesus, and the principles of His Kingdom.

Creative Activities

Crafts, games, songs, and skits that bring Bible stories to life, making learning enjoyable and memorable.

Prayer and Worship Time

Moments for the children to pray, worship, and connect with God in a way that is meaningful to them.

Opportunities to make new friends and build a sense of community with other children who share the same faith.

Why Attend the Children’s Retreat?

This retreat provides children with the perfect environment to:

  • Experience God’s Love: A chance to understand that they are loved by God, and to begin developing a personal relationship with Him.
  • Grow Spiritually: Learn the foundational principles of the Christian faith in a way that is engaging, fun, and memorable.
  • Make New Friends: Connect with other children in the church and build a sense of community that strengthens their faith.
  • Develop Lasting Faith: Instill in them a desire to continue growing in their relationship with God long after the retreat ends.

A Foundation for a Lifelong Journey of Faith

We believe that the early years are crucial for laying a strong spiritual foundation, and through this Children’s Retreat, we aim to give children the tools they need to build a lasting and vibrant relationship with God. As they leave the retreat, our prayer is that they will continue to thirst for the Springs of Living Waters, always seeking the presence and love of God in their lives.
