When a young family is looking for a new church, a typical requirement is that it has “something for the kids”. If they don’t see a children’s program advertised on the church’s website, they might not bother visiting at all. It’s easy to assume that a church with no kids program thinks church is only for adults, that children only become a person once they are grown. There can be very bad reasons for a church not to have a kids’ program.
Just as some churches might reject children’s ministry for bad reasons, a kids' ministry can be done for faulty reasons. Or for good reasons, but in unhelpful ways.
