KIDOLOGY MEMBERSHIP JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER
Since before most people had an e-mail address, Kidology.org has been pioneering ways to use the Internet to provide practical help and encouragement for those who minister to children.

We've continued to invest in features that add value to your membership. From our active Discussion Forums to the Job Center, and even the recent additions of the popular Kidology Garage Sale and Kidology Coaching, we're here to equip and encourage you affordably along the way.

We're excited to announce the latest addition to the Kidology family of features: Kidology Online Training. Now, quality children's ministry training will be just a click away and available on-demand when you need it. Even better, Kidology Online Training is offered FREE for those who support our ministry through their Professional and Group Memberships. While supplemental resources and materials will be available for an additional investment, Kidology Leadership Labs provided via our online training area prove that once again, membership has its privileges.

As one member recently wrote, "I just took a sneak peak at the Leadership Lab video and had to pause it to say that I don't know how ANYONE involved in kid's ministry can go without a membership to this site! I am just really blessed by the ministry of Kidology and all of the many children's ministers/leaders who use it as well. I consider this a huge blessing!" Thank you for your support and the opportunity you give us to serve you!

Because Jesus Loves Children,
Karl D. Bastian - a.k.a. "The Kidologist"
