The development of a child’s religiousness is not only subject to the family influence, but also the influence of Church, school, circles of friends, the mass media and the whole society. Family, however, should be perceived as the most important and basic environment for a child’s religious upbringing, with their parents as the primary tutors. When it comes to religious upbringing there ought to be a close connection between Church and family. Religious upbringing and a child’s upbringing in general, as a human being, cannot be separated. The universal human and religious values are to be developed simultaneously. This paper presents a question of shaping a child’s image of God in relation to experiences deriving from the family background. It additionally studies the role of Church in the creation of a religious attitude in a young person’s life.
