Why do some churches have special rooms for children, and teenagers, and have the big room for adults?

and why isn't everybody just in the same big roomWhy do some churches have special rooms for children, and teenagers, and have the big room for adults?
Why do schools have separate rooms and grades? Churches accommodate different ages and learning abilities.Why do some churches have special rooms for children, and teenagers, and have the big room for adults?
Because 2/3 of the stuff in the Bible isn't fit to teach to children and 1/4 is too boring to bother with. That way they can spoon-feed the children only the sweet cute gushy stuff and omit the stuff that they use to scare the adults. As for the teens, they are in a different area so their parents can't see them listening to their ipods and texting their friends instead of paying attention to the sermon.





It also keeps the kids %26amp; teens from having to sing songs like ';Bathed in the Blood';. No wonder so many of them are into vampire stuff.
i hated that when i was younger because i couldn't learn anything about religion in ';sunday school'; (ages 5-13) that's why i stopped going to church





its because most children would only get in the way of the adult people in their church, they wouldn't understand and sometimes they would actually be scared
Because children would be too disruptive, and the message of the Bible would be too traumatic and off-putting to expose children that young to it. The kids have to be conditioned with the rainbows-n'-lollipops version of the Bible first, so that they'll blindly accept the real version when they're older.
Because they don't understand that kids learn best from their parents, and families should worship together, not separately.





The ';make it exciting for kids'; excuse is a pile of hooey. If kids are trained to think that Christ isn't ';exciting'; enough on His own, they'll never be satisified with church. Church isn't supposed to be entertainment (what YOU get out of it), folks -- it's supposed to be an offering to the Lord (what HE gets out of it).
What size room is right for teenagers? And how big should be the room for the adults?





I think that if you ask those people who really go there, they would say they like it that way. The messages can be constructed for the particular age groups. The music can be the same way.
same reason quagmire from family guy has a special room.
Good question. When God had his people Israel gathered for instruction he had them all come together. Jehovah's Witnesses follow that pattern in their worship at their meeting places.
Jesus said let the children come, so in many small churches everyone worships together. However, some children just cannot sit still long enough to really hear the message, and therefore their parents aren't getting it either.





It is often better to have different age groups have their own worship services. The problem is, if you don't have the right person/people working with the children/youth then they aren't learning in there either and that is not right. It isn't babysitting, it's children's worship.





You can either look for a church that keeps everyone together or a larger one that specializes in great groups for the children/youth. Ones where they will learn what worship is all about and when it is time to join the adults they will do it with joy and understanding.
