“Look to Jesus” Summit Kids Releases Worship Album

This is a guest post by Pastor of Summit Kids, Josh Navey.

Summit Kids wants to be a strong partner for parents in finding and creating music that makes the gospel accessible for their kids. We have found there to be a very limited amount of music that meets our top 3 criteria for kids music:

1. Gospel-centered
2. A fun sound
3. Easy for parents to listen to

As much as I love “I’m In the Lord’s Army,” it only meets 1 of those 3 criteria (I’ll let you choose which 2 get the boot!).  And while I may never march in the infantry, I do think we can do better in helping our families “dwell richly in the message of the Messiah.”

We hope our first full-length album, “Look to Jesus,” (available to pre-order now on amazon) helps parents do what George Whitefield expressed as shining the light of the gospel into our households.  Each song is meant to present the gospel in a way that kids can understand and parents can use as they have gospel-conversations at home.  We didn’t want to make music that pointed kids and families only to the morals and virtues that flow out of a heart that loves Jesus.  We wanted to be a part of cultivating the heart that loves Jesus.  And out of that desire, “Look to Jesus” was born.

Ultimately, that’s why we call ourselves a partner for parents.  We know parents do the dirty work of planting seeds of the gospel each and every day as they “sit in the house, walk by the way, lie down, and rise” (Deuteronomy 6:7), and this album is an effort to help water those seeds of faith in the lives of kids all across RDU.
