Summary: | Researching children’s experiences of charismatic worship activities was relatively uncharted territory until recently. For the purpose of this intrinsic case study, activities to cultivate children’s own developing worship styles were implemented through engagement with music during kids band rehearsals in a charismatic church. These activities included vocal and instrumental training, immersive activities, spontaneous worship, intercession and reflection on experiences. Data was collected through observations and interviews with five children who reported on their experiences in a children’s band in a charismatic church at weekly kids band practices. The findings suggested that participation in worship activities in kids band rehearsals alongside others could nurture the ways children experience spirituality and connection with a higher power, the music, and each other. |
