Children in our churches are becoming increasingly unlearned as far as the Bible is concerned. I hear many KidMin Leaders complain about the problem — mainly because there is no starting point. I have taken that as a personal mission to do whatever I can to become part of the solution. Here are a few of my […]
The Survey Says, Part 3 – Others & You “If you could give some advice to a person who is new in ministry, what would it be?” That is the question that I asked on FaceBook. This is the last in this series as real KidMin Leaders share what they have learned about YOU & OTHERS […]
The Survey Says: Part 3 – Oversight Think GROW Plan ahead, not just on events or classroom supplies. Be ready and solid in what you’re doing now, with growth plans built in. If you have 25 kids, treat the ministry like you have 50, so when you get 50, you won’t have to scramble. There […]

It’s Here! 2022! This is the time of year that most of us make a promise to ourselves to do better, lose weight, get a new job, change our life. But statistically only about 8 percent of us who make a New Year’s resolution stick to it. So what do we do? Throw up our […]
THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! PART ONE I think it is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! But I will not kid you, it can also be one of the most stressful times of the year too. Just thinking about meeting the high expectations of the holiday may already be making you […]
