Faith grows at home
Your child's faith is being formed right now
Researchers have found that a child's moral foundations are largely in place by around age nine, and core beliefs by about age 13. The years EDEN serves aren't the warm-up before the real ministry — they are the main event.
And a child can attend church for ten years, enjoy every minute, and still grow up unable to explain the gospel or sure they ever truly knew God. Attendance isn't the goal. Lasting, rooted faith is.
