Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Jesus wasn't just saying that because He likes children; He knew that children have a lot to teach adults about love, joy, wonder, curiosity, wild abandon, priorities, passion, trust, forgiveness, prayer and grace.

Jesus said not to hinder the little children; we are to clear the path for children to have easy access to Jesus. The lessons we teach at Open Door are intentional about clearing the path for them to see who Jesus is: a God who is very fond of us, His beloved; a God who waits for us with arms wide open.
