Ministry to children is a high calling - filled with joy, energy, challenges, and incredible impact. But it can also be exhausting, lonely, and disorienting if we aren't rooted in something deeper than our calendars and creativity.
I've met many passionate leaders who started strong, full of energy and ideas, only to burn out, get discouraged, or lose their sense of calling. Not because they didn't love kids or the church - but because they neglected something crucial: the care of their own soul.
Children's ministry isn't just about what you do - it's about who you're becoming. The health of your ministry begins with the health of your walk with God. And in a world that celebrates busyness and productivity, it takes intentionality to stay grounded, humble, and faithful.
That's why I wrote this covenant.
There are 12 Commitments within The Kidmin Covenant, and we're sharing those with you in this new devotional prayer and study guide that could change your ministry life... if you let it! Join me on this journey of walking with Jesus as we minister to kids and the leaders who serve them!
You can read each covenant below, but if you really want to go deeper, pick up a copy of the Kidmin Covenant Refective Guide and start becoming inwardly healthy to be outwardly fruitful!
