KEEPING YOUR CHILDREN’S MINISTRY ON MISSION

When building a childrens ministry at a church, there is so much to consider: Which curriculum should we use? How many volunteers do we need? How do we keep parents in the loop? And thats before we run into stalled check-in computers, missing activity sheets, and floors that need to be vacuumed. While all of the tasks of childrens ministry are important, leaders can get easily distracted with the everyday work of doing ministry and lose sight of the main focusthe gospel. Writing from personal ministry experience, Jared Kennedy shares a four-fold approach for gospel-centered, missional childrens ministry: hospitality, teaching, discipleship, and mission. This practical resource covers a variety of topics ranging from creating child protection policies to putting together lesson plans to catechism, helpful for childrens ministers and volunteers alike as they disciple children with the powerful message of the gospel.
