Thank you so much for the Kidology Website. It has been a source of encouragement and inspiration! I have benefited greatly from the resources that it provides as well as the opportunity to Network with other Children's Ministry Workers throughout the country. I pray that this important ministry continues to grow and that everyone who invests in it will be blessed. Thank you for all you do to equip and encourage those of us who are in Children's Ministry!

What Is Kidology?

Kidology is a non-profit organization that exists to equip and encourage those who minister to children. Our primary ministry is Kidology.org, a website where each day over 20,000 children's ministry leaders and volunteers find help, ideas, training, and resources that enable them to most effectively reach and teach kids.

Beyond our extensive online tools and training, we also offer help through a variety of conferences, personalized coaching, and publishing electronic and print resources.

Why Kidology?

Children are the ripest spiritual field in the Kingdom. This was God's design. Even adults, Jesus said, ought to "come as children." It was God's plan that faith begin as a child. When it doesn't, there is always a high price to pay.

The ripest field is being harvested by the least equipped and trained. While there is a growing number of professionally trained children's ministry leaders, the VAST majority of those who minister to children are parents and volunteers thrust into that role with little or no training and with meager resources.

The Internet is the most strategic and cost-effective way to bridge this gap. We can impact an unlimited number of those who reach and teach children 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And we are!

Because Jesus Loves Children and those on the front lines reaching them. And when they turn to the Internet to find help, they are finding Kidology.org.

How to use Kidology

Kidology.org features one of the Internet's largest collections of ideas, tools, and interaction around the world of children's ministry. This includes a searchable knowledge base of ideas, discussion forums, online store packed with resources, online training, job center, and an online garage sale for selling your used children's ministry items.

As a non-profit ministry, we offer access to these tools through a combination of free and premium-access memberships. Kidology relies on donations, product sales, limited advertising, and yes, membership fees to maintain not only the costs of website operation, but also support staff and future development. While we would love to offer all features at no cost, in order to maintain our mission, we have to be good stewards of the resources we've been given and rely on your support for the ministry as well.
