Children should be taught to behave respectfully within the church setting, acknowledging the sacredness of the space and the service. This includes showing reverence during prayers, worship, and while others are speaking. In Ephesians 6:1, children are instructed to “Obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” This can be understood to extend to showing respect to authority figures like the priest or pastor in the church.

Parents and church leaders can guide children in this process by fostering an environment that values both worship and learning, helping them understand the sacred nature of the church experience.
