The Creative Process and How It Works in a Preschool Ministry by Carrie Bettinger |
The creative process is messy, but necessary. We don't want our kids leaving with the same paper plate crafts every week, or see the same story told to them in the same way month after month, year after year. How do we change it up? Let's get creative and see what we can come up with! |
|
A Few of My Favorite Things by Tracy Nogalski |
Sharing from her experiences as Nursery Administrator in Discovery Island at NorthRidge Church, Plymouth, MI, Tracy Nogalski will share “favorite” policies, resources, and practical ways to honor volunteers – our most valued Nursery resource. |
|
High Voltage Kids Ministry Live by Brian Dollar |
A live demonstration of a High Voltage Kids multi-media children’s church service, taught by the master himself, Brian Dollar. You will experience everything including: pre-service activities, announcements, games, transitions, offering, worship, lesson introduction, skits, memory verse, illustrated sermon, response time, video clips and review questions. |
|
I Blew It Leadership by Brian Dollar |
Brian has grown to become one of the most respected Kids' Pastors in the country, but few people know the path he's taken to learn his most important lessons. In this workshop, he opens his heart and his life to share his biggest failures. Some of the principles are about ministry philosophy, strategy and communication, but the most important ones - the lessons that will make you laugh and melt your heart - are about the deeper qualities of fear and hope, pride and humility. |
|
The Kids Church Cooking Show by Karl Bastian |
The Kids Church Cookbook cooks up Karl Bastian's secrets for what it takes to be a Chef of the Word of God -- and he should know, having served up over 1,000 Kids Church services! This workshop is loaded with insightful instruction and practical training that will help both beginners and veterans. Unleash Your Own Personal Teaching Creativity! |
|
Not Just Diaper Changers, But Life Changers by Tracy Nogalski |
This workshop will focus on the importance of a vibrant and nurturing Nursery ministry in the church. Topics of discussion will be the importance of a ministry mission statement and providing a safe and secure place for children where volunteers know the value of their role in laying a spiritual foundation in the lives of young children. |
|
Putting the Pastor Back in Your Job Description Leadership by Karl Bastian |
If you are a leader and you feel like all you do is administrate and you miss connecting with the kids, this workshop reveals the secret to getting back to doing ministry. It is transformative. |
|
Teaching Effective Lessons to Preschoolers by Carrie Bettinger |
When you teach a group of preschoolers, it can be like teaching a group of silly monkeys. How do you keep their attention? How do you keep them from distraction? How do you get them to remember everything you've taught them? Well, this session might give you a few more tools in your tool belt to help the kids leave church knowing exactly what happened that day! |
|
Vanishing Discipline Problems by Karl Bastian |
The Apostle Paul said he became all things to all men so that they might be reached. Pastor Karl Bastian, aka "The Kidologist" entered children's ministry at age 10 and has been equipping adults for over thirty years on how to approach ministry from the perspective of a child and from within their culture. His unique approach is highly creative, super effective, causes discipline problems to vanish and results to soar - and yet is easy and fun. Come learn the secrets of the Kidologist that will transform your ministry. |
