There
is a confluence of voices — both secular and sacred — about one of the most
important challenges facing our society today: the moral and spiritual
development of our children. So the
question for the church is: What are we doing about it and how well are we doing
it? Please
set aside Saturday, May 10 from 11:30am to 1:30pm to explore how we, as the
church, can be effective in our ministry with children. We’ll hear what many organizations are
saying — with particular attention to the “Hardwired to Connect” report — about
critical issues that are facing children and teens. Then, we’ll take an
in-depth look at a tool called The Children’s Ministry Effectiveness Model
that The LOGOS Ministry has developed as a result of 45 years of working with
churches all over the US and Canada.
The model is built around three primary components that form the heart
of a comprehensive children’s ministry. PURPOSEFUL: Is the congregation intentional about why a
children’s ministry is vital for the church? PRACTICAL: Does
the congregation have an effective plan and approach for implementing and
sustaining the children’s ministry? IMPACTFUL: Is the effect of the children’s ministry
truly reflective of ministry and not merely another program in the church? We’ll
examine all three components as we share our perspectives and, later, come
together over lunch for more discussion and fellowship. You’ll also leave
with some valuable materials to share with the rest of your congregation. This
interactive and timely event is for anyone interested in or involved with
children’s ministry; and, lays the groundwork for working with young people
of all ages. So, please join us at
