Taking small children to church can be a struggle for parents. Even the best-behaved children get the wiggles from time to time. They also speak what’s on their minds, even when it might be time to be quiet. Unfortunately, not everyone is tolerant of children and their behavior, which can discourage families from bringing them to the service. Trinity Southern Baptist Church in Falmouth, Kentucky, has a very strict policy when it comes to bringing loud children to church, and they will have no discussion about it.

Trinity Southern Baptist Has a ‘Loud Children’ Policy
The church posted the rules on Facebook.
At Trinity Southern Baptist Church, we are committed to transparency and accountability in all matters of church life. The following document outlines our comprehensive procedures regarding loud children in worship. Please consider this your official notice of policy clarification.
Effective immediately, if a family is considering visiting Trinity Southern Baptist Church, and they have a loud kid, the following options are available:
Option 1.The family should bring the kid.
Option 2.The family should make sure they bring the kid.
Option 3.The family should ensure the kid comes to church.
Option 4.The family is to see that the child is brought to church.
Option 5.The kid is absolutely welcome and expected.
We believe the sound of children in worship is not a distraction. It is evidence of life, growth, and the future of the church.
If your child makes noise, you are not bothering us. You are blessing us.
Policy enacted. No exceptions.
People loved Trinity Southern Baptist’s loud children rule.
“Good thing I read this all the way,” someone commented. “I was about to roast this church if they said loud kids aren’t welcome! It’s not a movie theater!”
This person agreed, writing, “When a baby gets loud in our church the preacher always says ‘Amen, you tell them.’”
“My preacher always says if he can’t preach over a kid making noises then he shouldn’t be preaching,” a comment reads.
We imagine Trinity Southern Baptist will have a few more filled pews on Sunday.
