Happy Birthday Kidology

20 years ago this December, the Internet gave birth to a site dedicated to EQUIPPING and ENCOURAGING Those Who Minister to Children: Kidology.org was born! 

 

It's been an incredible 20 years, and while the Internet has exploded with new helps for those who minister to children, Kidology.org has remained the leader in content and services for those who minister to kids.

 

To celebrate, we are praying for 500 DONORS over the next 3 months who will give a $20 donation to celebrate 20 years and help us with some website enhancements for the next 20 years.

The Well Equipped Volunteer Children's Ministry Handbook 
Well Equipped Volunteer
The Well Equipped Volunteer Children's Ministry Handbook is a 400+ page manual for Children's Ministry leaders and volunteers to help them start and grow a thriving Children's Ministry.

Every week, countless volunteers show up at churches to tirelessly work in Children's Ministry. They work in Sunday School, children's church, midweek club programs, VBS, and any number of other programs and activities offered.

 

Many of these faithful volunteers are under-trained and under-equipped but they serve anyway because they know that they are building up the church of tomorrow.

 

In The Well Equipped Volunteer Children's Ministry Handbook, volunteers and kidmin leaders will find a comprehensive reference manual that they'll use almost every single day to help them start and grow their Children's Ministry.

 

What Does It REALLY Take to Be a Children's Pastor? 
7 Requirements
Seminary will give you the education required to be a pastor and leader. But what else is required to be a great Children's Pastor? Contributor Mimi Bullock has some interesting insight into the world of children's ministry in her article, "7 Surprise Requirements to Become a Children's Pastor."

"Depending on Bible college or seminary to prepare you for a children's pastor role?

Well, you might be in for a shock! As an eighteen-year veteran in children's ministry, I can tell you that there are some surprise requirements to serving in this field. Luckily, most of them you probably already have within you. All you need is to tap into being a kid again."

  

Don't Be A Turkey! Get Operation: Thanks!   
Operation: Thanks
We live in a "gimmie-gimmie" culture that focuses on how much it can get. God wants us to have an attitude of gratitude for the many blessings we already have.

The purpose of this unit is not only to help kids focus on being thankful, but to challenge them to think of some people that they haven't expressed thanks to, and help them think of some ideas to express their thanks in practical ways.

Theme Verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
