I see many adults dont attend church anymore. They seem to have received education at school about something that tells them that church is for oldies. Or that churching is wrong.
I would like to know how I can keep my kids still connected to Jesus. What would happen if parents wanted their kids to believe what they believe? What would such parents do?

You attend church with your kids and get them involved in fun church activities. - Recognize that it is their choice. You can't force your kids to keep your religion. But you can introduce them to it and show them that they can have a good group of friends with similar beliefs.
My 7 year old daughter absolutely loves church! She goes about 3 times a week. They have fun activities for her age group and some cooler trips for the middle school and high school age kids. -- She has friends at church and I think that helps a lot.
Our neighbors go to a more adult-oriented church. Their 8 yr old dreads going, but he loves it when they let him join my daughter.

Ever heard the expression, "what you do speaks so loudly, I cannot hear what you are saying"
That applies here. Find a church where the whole family can get involved and that teens find fun and interesting, while still learning to connect with Jesus.

it's not that people believe that church is for old people,
it's that their parents forced them to go,
and now that they can make the decision themselves,
they don't go
don't just force them to go, make it an interesting and fun experience,
so that they don't get bored with it all the time
