Discover the covenant between believing parents, their children, and the church—and what it means for infant membership today.

This book argues that infants of believers are part of the visible Church by birth and covenant, even when regeneration is not proven. It explains how church membership has roots that predate the New Covenant and why baptism serves as a badge of belonging. It also outlines the duties of parents, pastors, and elders to educate and shepherd the young, from catechizing to Sabbath-school instruction, to nurture future faith and church vitality.

Why infants of believers are treated as church members under the covenant
How regeneration relates to visible church membership and baptism
The roles of parents and church officers in the spiritual education of children
The importance of catechesis and disciplined instruction for youth

Ideal for readers interested in church history, covenant theology, and practical guidance for raising children within a faith community. It speaks to pastors, elders, parents, and lay readers who want a clearer view of how the church cares for the youngest members.
