Build Your BEST Kids Ministry

To help YOU thrive and flourish in your leadership role, we have put all our lessons learned, tips and ideas in a three-part online magazine called KIDS MINISTRY: WISDOM (KM:W for short).

Starting with the first issue, The KIDS MINISTRY Toolbox, each of the three issues focuses on topics of interest to you. Let's look at the list of articles in the first issue, the Toolbox:

  • Article One: Map to Real-Life Kids Ministry
  • Article Two: Let's Brainstorm: What's Our Purpose?
  • Article Three: Our Lord's Treasure Map to Discipleship
  • Article Four: How to Grow Your Kids Ministry
  • Article Five: The Best Sunday School Ideas
  • Article Six: The Best Kids Ministry Tips and Ideas
  • Article Seven: Educational Games for Your Classroom Computer

Well, that's great, but there's more!

  • Article Two: Build Your Vision
  • Article Three: Build Your Team
