Kidology, Equipping & Encouraging
Where the "Rubber Meets the Road!"

Introducing "Kidology to Go!" Our NEW mobile training minsitry that travels across the United States (yes, all 50 of them) and Canada, bringing quality children’s ministry training and resources to churches.

At KidologyToGo.org, you can learn how you can host a Kidology to Go training event at your church, or if you are a Resource Provider, have your products or services represented at events across North America.

Curious how Kidology To Go came to be? You may want to read the read the full "backstory" I shared on my blog. The next two and half years are going to be very exciting as my good friend, Pastor Marty Martin, and his family travel across the United States & Canada, seeing interesting sights and places while also providing Kidology-style "Equipping and Encouraging" along the way.

You can follow their adventures on KidologyToGo.org, as well as via Twitter, YouTube or Facebook - but the best thing you can do is to arrange to have the Kidology to Go RV show up at YOUR CHURCH!

I plan to make several personal appearances at Kidology to Go events - we are besides ourselves with excitement over this new ministry. Kidology is ready "TO GO" where the "rubber meets the road" to Equip and Encourage you!

Visit KidologyToGo.org to learn more - like the fact that all events will be FREE for Kidology.org Premium Members! (WHOA! Did you just read that? YES YOU DID!)
