I find that most people that teach in children’s ministry will sell kids short. What I mean is, they think kids are limited in their understanding of spiritual things. Some people have accused me of ‘going over kids heads’ when I preach to kids. One of my volunteers even accused me of brainwashing our five year olds for teaching […]
Are you tired of being treated like a babysitter? Do you wish your pastor placed a higher value on Children’s Ministry? Do you want to see your kids grow in their relationship with Christ?
