For Kids: 

• Your involvement in church is very important to its health. One reason FBCW still exists today is that 150 years ago, parents made their children sit with them in the worship service. Those children grew up knowing how the church ought to operate, then taught their kids, and their kids taught theirs. That’s why it is so important that you are in here with us. 
• Why is it important for you to be present with your family during worship each week? 
• What can you do to help make FBCW a healthy church? 
• What is your favorite thing about the weekly gathering on Sunday? 

For Discussion: 

• Why is it important to recognize that God has a plan for the design of his church?  
  • How would we know if God has a plan for his church?  
  • What happens if we try to change or “improve” God’s plan?  
• How do we know Paul’s words to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:15 are meant for all churches of all time?  
• What did Paul mean by calling the church a “pillar and buttress of the truth”?  
• What does the world stand to lose when churches don’t operate according to God’s plan?  
• In what ways is the confession of the church deeper than just words?  
• How does the right confession of the truth sustain a church across generations?  
• What ought church members do to help make sure they are leaving behind a healthy church for subsequent generations?  
• What are some of the Go & Tell implications of a healthy church for unbelievers within her witness?
