HOW TO CRUSH KID MIN(istry):
Goals For Our Kids
It’s hard sometimes to know when you’re winning in children’s ministry, you know? Like, is anything we’re teaching actually sinking in? Are kids really growing in their faith? That’s why we decided to go ahead and define the big win for our ministry. It’s the one thing that we, as a ministry team, want to achieve. It’s the goal we want to keep in mind at all times. And it’s what motivates and guides everything we do. It goes like this . . .
PRESCHOOL & NURSERY VOLUNTEERS WIN WHEN THEY HELP KIDS FEEL SAFE AND LOVED.
If you want a preschooler to love coming to church (and you want their parents to love bringing them) then it’s so important for our volunteers to show up consistently. That’s because babies and preschoolers feel the most safe when they are connected to familiar trusted adults. There may be tears and tantrums, but there will also be giggles and high fives. In this ministry, we do so much more than just childcare—we plant seeds of God’s love and truth in the hearts of little ones.
When our volunteers help babies and preschoolers feel safe and loved, they lay a foundation where their faith can take root and grow.
