It's almost the best time of the year! And no, we're not talking about the days when you get to nap. It's almost Christmas! The Christmas season is a time of joy, reflection, and connection—but sometimes it goes by so fast that we wish we had more time to really enjoy...
It's so important to have a strategy for what you'll teach kids. Without a strategy, we run the risk of missing important ideas, teaching only the topics that interest us most, and ultimately failing to give our kids a full and holistic view of God. Our goal should be...
Once in a while, we'll ask a whole bunch of church leaders this question:...
When it comes to helping kids grow in their faith, we believe there are four spiritual habits to target. These habits are the decisions, behaviors, and rhythms that help us grow spiritually over time. If you're like most people, when you hear "spiritual habit" you...
When planning your year, we always recommend you start with your discipleship strategy. That’s because spiritual growth should be the lens through which we see everything else we do in our ministries. We believe there are four spiritual habits that help kids (and...
As ministry leaders, we don't always have time to pause and reflect. But even if those moments don't happen very often, we've probably all had a moment when we looked around at everything that keeps us so busy and wondered... "Why doesn't it seem like this is...
Have you ever been told you need a "strategy" for your youth ministry? You do need a strategy, but sometimes, when people talk about their ministry "strategy," they're not talking about strategy at all. Instead, they're talking about... A goal they want to reach. A...
If we asked you to share your favorite memories from ministry, it might take you a minute. Ministry is full of things to remember, from the funny stories kids share to the life-changing decisions they make for Jesus. You'll have dozens of favorite...
In kids ministry, we all know what it’s like to leave our planning to the last possible second. Maybe you started planning that big event of yours a few weeks too late and now you’re scrambling to get it all done. Or maybe you’re halfway through the school year when...

Congratulations! You've just pulled off another successful event! You've taken out the trash, locked up the building, and now you're starting to wonder...what would I do next time? Taking the time to debrief your events is a key part of ministry. Without proper...
Marketing a church event and getting the word out is critical for getting a great turnout. We all know the basics of marketing an event—share the event's date, time, and location with families and volunteers. But is that all there is to marketing? You might notice...
Events are a pretty big deal for most children's ministries. They’re a way to have fun, connect with kids and families, get new people in the door, and create some excitement. Events matter, but we’ve got to keep things in perspective. That’s why we’re fans of keeping...
If you've spent more than a few weeks in kids ministry, chances are you've played a lot of games. Games sit at the center of ministry because it gives kids (and leaders) a chance to make connections. When you're playing a game with a kid or watching...
If you're like most children's ministry leaders, you're always looking for new ways to keep your kids entertained. That's a pretty important part of your role. Not only are you responsible for helping kids grow their relationship with Jesus, but you have to do it in a...
Take a look around you. What do you see? What sounds do you hear? How does the space feel to you? Your environment helps inform and store all of the information you take in about a place. It's why a doctor's office feels differently than a concert venue — one feels...
