Maybe...just maybe, if the kids were getting enough bible teaching at home it might be different. The purpose of the church (the people not the organization) is to spread the gospel. That should always be foremost in the mind of a church member.
At the churchs I have attended, whenever there are special activities the "church kids" are encouraged to bring friends. This maybe that kids only chance to hear anything about the bible. It also teaches the inviter how to teach God's Word themselves.

And what is the purpose of spreading the gospel? Serious question.
