That depends on the goals of your childhood ministry, the resources available, and the schedules and lifestyles of your teachers and children. Many churches model their children’s ministry after their youth ministry, but social interaction with peers is far less of a need for preschoolers and children than it is for teenagers. While fellowship activities have value, a church’s childhood ministry should provide a balance of family activities, parenting support, teacher training and support, and outreach/ministry opportunities as well as fellowship. For many churches, the outreach activities that they schedule (such as a fall festival) will also serve to meet fellowship needs, so additional activities for children are not necessary.
