The Christmas season is a time for sharing memories, gathering with our loved ones, and a few last-minute trips to the store to buy those gifts you forgot about. But anyone who has ever wrapped a gift for a kid knows Christmas is more than just a single day. The...

Once in a while, we'll ask a whole bunch of church leaders this question:...
Discipleship
If you're an adult (or even a "professional" Christian), then the idea of spiritual habits is probably pretty familiar to you. Spiritual disciplines, quiet time, devotions... whatever you call it, you've probably established a few rhythms in your...
Hey, we get it. This title probably came as a bit of a surprise to you. Apps and children's ministry? That doesn't make sense. And ... you'd be right. We're not here to advocate for kids having access to phones at a certain age. That's a choice for...
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...
Leadership
Do you ever need a moment to recharge your passion for ministry? There are these moments in ministry when we feel like we could use some inspiration and connection with people who really get us. You can talk with your lead pastor about some things, and you can talk...
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...
Families
No one wants to sit through a meeting that could have been an email — especially the parents in your ministry. Too many parent meetings happen because they're full of information rather than chances for connection. Really, parent meetings can be an effective part of...
Events
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 youth ministries. They’re a way to have fun, connect with students and their 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...
Environments
If you've spent more than a few weeks in youth ministry, chances are you've played a lot of games. Games sit at the center of ministry because they give teenagers (and leaders) a chance to make connections. When you're playing a game with a teen or...
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 different than a concert venue — one feels...
If you're like most youth ministry leaders, you're always looking for new ways to keep teenagers 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 way...

No matter how long you've been serving in youth ministry, one of the first things you hear about is discipleship—what it is, how to make it easier, and how to get teenagers to invest in discipleship on their own. At its core, discipleship is helping people grow and...
How much time do you spend thinking about how to help kids grow closer to Jesus? If you're a kids ministry leader, it's probably very often. Part of your role is discipleship, or helping kids develop their relationship with God. And as much as we might want it to,...
Events are the backbone of ministry. Every year, children's ministries work hard to create great events that do a few things... Get kids and their parents to connect. Introduce new families to their ministry or church. Give kids and families a safe place to have fun....
