Kidology: His Message Through You to Their World

Kidology is the study of kids! The Apostle Paul said he became all things to all men so that they might be reached. Pastor Karl Bastian, aka "The Kidologist" entered children's ministry at age 10 and has been equipping adults for over thirty years on how to approach ministry from the perspective of a child and from within their culture. His unique approach is highly creative, super effective, causes discipline problems to vanish and results to soar - and yet is easy and fun. Come learn the secrets of the Kidologist that will transform your ministry.

Kidology 101: Relational Ministry - 9:00 a.m.

The aim of this workshop is to challenge and equip adults to engage in relational ministry through a working knowledge of the culture of kids. Learn how to get into the world of kids and make connections with kids in ways that are both fun and engaging. You'll be inspired and equipped to teach in new and surprising ways that may just transform your teaching ministry.

Refreshment Break -  10:30 a.m.

Kidology 202: Making Your Class Rock - 10:45 a.m. 

"You Rock!" is one of the highest compliments a child can give a teacher. What makes some classrooms more exciting and effective than others? Why are some teachers remembered into adulthood when most are quickly forgotten? What can set YOUR class apart from all the rest? Rock your class and rock a kid's world!

Lunch - 12:00 p.m.

Kidology 303: Unleashing Your Own Creativity  - 1:00 p.m.

Think you aren't creative? Discover the secrets of creativity, and learn how to come up with super creative ideas for games, skits, stories, skits and more, from ANY passage of scripture – instantly! You'll be amazed at what YOU can do by the end of this session!

Kidology 404: Leading Kids to Christ - 1:45 p.m. 

At the end of the day, the most important aspect of our ministry is leading kids to Christ! So we will end our day learning some practical skills for this most important aspect of our ministry. Not only will you learn some new Gospel presentations, you will be equipped to make sure that you are doing the best.

You will be able to browse through the largest gathering of children's and family ministry resource providers available. Most of all, you will be equipped, motivated, and challenged to increase your effectiveness in ministry to children.
