Growing Kids Ministry is a place to share stories, resources and ideas.
Children’s Ministry Workers, let’s grow together.
A growing kids ministry can mean so many things. Growing numbers is important in one sense, but certainly not the only thing we want to see growing. Most importantly, we want to see relationships growing.
Relationships between kids, relationships between kids and their leaders, and most importantly, relationships between kids and their Creator. While we’re at it, it’d be great to see some relationships growing between leaders and parents, leaders and leaders, kids and other congregation members — you get the idea.
My dream is to see Children’s Ministries across the country become places that can facilitate growth spiritually and relationally. It’s so exciting to see kids grow to love Jesus more and more every time they step through the doors of a church. True success would be to have everyone who comes in contact with our ministry to be inspired to grow closer to Christ and to each other. Growing Kids Ministry is a blog designed to equip Children’s Ministry workers to grow their ministries in just these ways. Thanks for joining me and I hope to see you here again real soon!
