Taking Summer Events the "Extra Mile"

 

So much time and energy goes into planning your summer events, like VBS, sports or drama camp, water wars or movie nights… that when it is finally over, it can be easy to pack up, clean up and move on without realizing that you have so much potential for follow up ministry.

 

Why does every store want your e-mail or phone number at check out? They have learned the power of an on-going relationship with their customers. So why does the church let these relationships end at the check out of the event?

 

We know. It’s hard. It’s time consuming. And the next big event is just around the corner. That is why I asked a good friend of mine and a veteran children’s pastor to help me create FOR YOU a collection of 20 pre-written follow up templates to make following up on your guests and inviting them back an easy task over the entire next year! They are themed with seasonal approaches to help you reach out and continue the relationships that began this summer.

 

It’s called the VBS Follow Up Kit and for Premium Members it’s only $9.99. Be on top of your game, impress your boss, and let us help you make follow up easy all next year! You got them there – now it’s time to get them to come back again!

Kidology Coaching is a Very Unique Experience
 

There are many training opportunities today that are offered that use the term "coaching" that would be better described as "training." 

  • Watching online training videos about various skills and aspects of children's ministry can be very helpful - but it is not coaching. 
  • Joining into a group call to hear from an expert in children's ministry can also be a great learning experience - but it also is not coaching. 
  • Having a kit that gives you some area of leadership to focus on each week can be a useful resource - but it also is not coaching. 
  • Even talking with an expert regularly for advice is not necessarily coaching if they have not been trained in how to coach. 

If they are just telling you what they think you should do, they are consulting or advising, not coaching. All of these things, and other helpful tools, can be a helpful supplement to your leadership development, but they should not be confused with genuine coaching.
