I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kidology! From the Toybox Tales to the children's church activities, I use several activities a month during my "Kidlife" program. Pastor Karl and the ideas found on this site have enabled me to present a quality, exciting program and have made me into such a better CM worker! I can never thank you enough!!!!

Schedule

Thursday, March 27
8:00 a.m.	Registration, Coffee, & Donuts
9:00 a.m. - 10:15 a.m.	Workshop Session #1
	*HELP! I'm in Charge of a Children's Ministry!* (Part 1) This workshop is for those brand new to leadership in children's ministry, or those who may need to 'start over' more strategically. Learn the ABC's of children's ministry leadership. Get your bases in order! Leave with a practical step-by-step strategy for building a ministry that can stand the test of time!
10:15 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.	Break
10:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.	Workshop Session #2
	*HELP! I'm in Charge of a Children's Ministry!* (Part 2) Continue exploring the basics of children's ministry leadership. This is an eye-opening workshop that often revitalizes leader's approaches to ministry and transformed stressed up worn out leaders into refreshed and encouraged leaders who end up healthier not just more effective.
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.	Lunch
1:00 p.m. - 2:15 p.m.	Workshop Session #3
	*Christian Kids or Disciples of Jesus?* What is the difference between teaching kids the bible and training kids to be fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ? Our classes are filled with bible-smart kids, but our youth groups are filled with teens who aren't living for Christ. Where did we go wrong? How can we do a better job? The answer lies in a strategy to make disciples, not merely teach the Bible.
2:15 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.	Break
2:45 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.	Workshop Session #4
	*Partnering with Parents!* Most children's pastors when asked 'Do you partner with parents' answer with "I try…" Partnering with parents is the most difficult part of children's ministry. The responsibility of spiritual nurturing belongs to parents, but the church is caught between needing to do it and taking it over. This workshop will provide insightful ideas for how you CAN genuinely 'partner with parents' and be able to answer, "YES! I DO!"
