In children’s ministry, we love when things are planned out and organized. But let’s be honest—organizing all our great ideas can be a bit of a challenge. What if we could plan a whole year of ministry in a single day? Well, with our free annual planning resources, it’s entirely possible!

Taking a day to plan your whole year is an important part of your annual strategy, but it’s about more than filling your calendar with details. When you have a whole year of ministry planned out, you can be more strategic about spending time with kids, families, and your team of volunteers. Plus, it makes the rest of your year so much more fun and peaceful!

To help you get started, we’ve bundled some of our favorite resources to help you plan a year of children’s ministry. Check them out inside our free trial!

Knowing where to start is the hardest part of planning a year of children’s ministry. Our included guide will walk you through each part of your ministry step by step. Then, you’ll just need to gather up your team of volunteers and key parents to begin planning.

Here’s everything we’ve included in this free annual planning resource…

  • The Annual Planning Meeting Guide, including a suggested schedule and shopping list
  • Editable calendar cards (or get a physical copy with a Grow Kids subscription!)
  • A walkthrough video where our team guides you through every step
