    The Mothers’ Union plays a vital role in nurturing and shaping the spiritual, moral, and social development of children within the church and community. This study examines the contribution of the Mothers’ Union to children’s ministry, focusing on its programs, teaching approaches, and supportive roles in promoting Christian values among the younger generation. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the research highlights how Mothers’ Union members engage in Sunday school teaching, mentorship, and the organization of activities that foster holistic child development. Findings reveal that the Mothers’ Union provides a stable foundation for children’s spiritual growth, moral guidance, and social skills, while also collaborating with church leadership and parents to address challenges such as limited resources and changing societal values. The study concludes that strengthening the capacity of the Mothers’ Union through training and resource provision can significantly enhance the effectiveness of children’s ministry, ensuring that children grow in faith, knowledge, and character.
