In The House - Teacher Training Program

By CMIV

Our church is in the process of doing a IN THE HOUSE teacher training program. This training has been one of our most successful and productive programs we have ever had. What makes this training unique is all the training can be specific to problems or situations that occur within our own classrooms (hence, In the house). The teachers filled out a questionnaire several weeks prior to training, stating topic we need to cover that would help her/him in there classroom teaching. We got topics from discipline to room set-up. Once the tropics were received the leaders met decided their strong points and developed a teacher training. These topics have been well covered prior to regular service times. It’s been a great success!! by Brenda Clayburn

APT for Volunteers! (Appreciation Plus Training!)

By angsimmons

We don’t have very many volunteers in our children’s ministry right now, so I came up with the following idea to try and recruit volunteers while making the present ones feel appreciated.Each month I have scheduled a Super Saturday event for the kids (usually the last Saturday of the month). On the same Saturdays, I have planned what I call APT Meetings for our volunteers. Super Saturday always starts at 11AM and includes lunch, and APT always starts at 6PM and includes dinner. » I want to read more! »

Team Ministry (pt. 1)

By CMIV

Team Ministry Series

Team Ministry (pt. 1)
Team Ministry (pt. 2)

It was once said that a man is an island unto himself. If you have seen the movie Castaway, you know that being on an island by yourself for very long makes you miss the hustle and bustle of the world we live in. It gets lonely quick when others aren’t around. Sure, we often say that it would be nice to get away from it all, but don’t you always return? Even God knew that being alone was not good for man. After all, it is written in Ecclesiastes that if man falls down, there is someone there to pick him up. If you fall down, don’t you want someone to help you up, brush off the dirt, and help you heal? We all do. That is what a team does when a Team Ministry Philosophy is established. » I want to read more! »

Ministry Training for 5th Graders

By AJLinn

Involving your children’s church kids in active ministry is an important step for their spiritual growth and stability. After a child has developed a ministry concept and seen God work through him (or her), it is rare for that child to ever abandon his faith. This fortification of a child’s faith by involving him in ministry is particularly necessary for your preteen children who are already facing pressures and temptation that many of us never faced until adulthood. The following are a few ideas you may wish to incorporate.
First, you may want to consider running a ministry club for your 5th graders. » I want to read more! »

Lack of Volunteers

By CMIV

This article was written in response to a question regarding a lack of volunteers specifically in the preschool department but the principles apply to a lack of volunteers in any children’s ministry area.

Many Children’s Pastors/Christian Education Directors deal with a lack of volunteers. The difficulties with a lack of volunteers can often be overcome by more effectively expressing the need to the congregation and/or overseeing pastor (or whichever staff person you report to.) » I want to read more! »

Utilizing Teens in Ministry

By CMIV

Robert Laurent’s book Keeping Your Teen in Touch with God states the #1 reason why teens fall away from God is lack of opportunity for meaningful church involvement.

The biggest key to teen involvement and commitment is involving them in every step of planning, goals, job descriptions, schedules, etc that is possible. People Support what they help to create. Teens don’t want to just be used for repetitive tasks. Why not » I want to read more! »
