Raising the Septuplets in the Christian Faith
It didn’t come as a surprise that the McCaugheys decided to raise their children in the Baptist faith. After the birth of the septuplets, Kenny served as a deacon at the Baptist church in Carlisle and traveled to Haiti on a church mission’s trip. Their faith has always been a central part in the life of the McCaughey family, and as such the children started attending Sunday school from an early age. In one interview, Kenny mentioned how there was always a limited coverage of their religion in the media, but this didn’t mean they weren’t raising the kids to become proper Christians.

Several media outlets presented them as Christian fundamentalists over the years and condemned them for their decision not to undertake selective reduction, but the couple has always defended their faith and repeatedly shared their belief that the children were all a gift from God. It was only natural for them to raise their kids in the same manner.
