Okay, my design question isn’t really random, it just doesn’t have anything to do with kids or church ministry.My parents own their own tax business. They’ve been a part of a franchise for the last 5-6 years, but now they’re out on their own. They’ve selected their name, but now they’re working with a design company to deve (Read More)

I’ve been thinking a lot about ministry names lately.Currently the name of Gateway’s Children’s Ministry is Kid’s Quest. Kid’s Quest was well branded here, but I feel a new name and new look is just around the corner for us, maybe launching a new look near the end of 2010.Here’s what I’ve been thinking about. It seems like (Read More)

I love Henry Zonio's description of his blog: "Long gone are the days of cookie cutter children's ministry!" Henry challenges us to adapt, change, and grow! Amen to that!And as always, I hang on every word that Henry writes because I think he's one of the sharpest children's ministers around! Yet, I was disappointed by Henr (Read More)

The challenge of ministering to the family is complex for children's ministers. And the more brilliant voices we have speaking into this topic, the closer we'll get to solutions. That's why we asked Henry Zonio to coordinate a Shift Blog Book Tour to create the dialogue around the ground-breaking book Brian Haynes has writt (Read More)

This week I’m doing a little series on Lock-Ins. Over the years I have found them to be incredibly powerful events for the Children’s Ministries I lead. I thought I’d write a quick series on why I do them and how to pull them off.I’m going to include how we plan, what resources we use, how much they cost and everything else (Read More)

I have a love/hate relationship with lock-ins. I’ve been doing them since I became a children’s pastor over a decade ago. I’ve done small and highly unorganized ones (in the early years) as well as huge and highly organized ones (my biggest topped 300 kids) and I’ve learned a few things along the way.So why do I hate them?

Last week I was writing an article where I was quoting some of other great ministry leaders’ books and web articles. In my work, I had to cite my sources. It’s been a long time since I’ve created a bibliography. I wrote hundreds of pages of papers in college and almost as many in grad school. Referencing my sources was alwa (Read More)

Okay, we’re going to play with this a little. A few weeks ago I started learning more about pages and I created one to play around with. I just called it Children’s Ministry. Then I realized an opportunity I had with an upcoming lock-in and created a fan page for the children’s ministry at my church. I launched it on a Thur (Read More)

We all know that Children’s Ministry has more than its share of stereotypes, both for the ministry as well as those who lead. Sometimes it can be embarrassing. But you have to admit, Student Ministry has plenty of stereotypes as well, just maybe not as dorky. I’ve worked with enough Student Pastors that I had a lot of fun w (Read More)
