10 TRENDS IN CHILDREN'S MINISTRY Children's
Ministry is always changing. Not only are the needs of the
children and their families always changing, but so are the
available tools to minister to them, and the strategies that
churches employ to be effective in their efforts to reach
and teach children for Jesus. This month we kick off a new
publication, the Kidology Report. In our inaugural
issue, our members address the "Top 10 Trends in Children's
Ministry" that will impact your ministry in the years
ahead. God is alive and well and moving in the area of Children's
Ministry!
Because
Jesus Loves Children,
Karl D. Bastian - a.k.a. "The Kidologist"

INSTILLING
KEY PRINCIPLES "What
do you consider to be the key principles/values/ideas that
you'd want to instill in children from Kindergarten to
around 5th grade?" asks Network Forums member MrShaun.
"Barna research statistics show that the churches that appear
effective in ministry seem to have a smaller set of these
items"
