Putting the GO in GOspel!

How to Develop a Children's Worship Program
"You can teach kids about the Tabernacle....or you can lead them into the HOLY OF HOLIES."
​
Creating an engaging yet worshipful program can be achieved by planning creatively, playfully, strategically, and most importantly, PRAYERFULLY. We will examine the beginning, middle, and end goals of a very successful worship program that will help the children in your program worship God.
Strengthening Resilience by Introducing Children to God's Presence
As leaders in children's ministry, we recognize the significance of fostering resilience in children's faith. Equally vital is imparting the understanding of worship to them. But what if these two aspects were intertwined? Could worship and resilience be interconnected? In this session, you'll discover fresh perspectives on authentic worship and its role in cultivating resilience in children's faith and their relationship with God.

Guiding Children to Christ:
Equipping and Empowering Your Volunteers
The famous preacher, Charles Spurgeon once said, "A child of five, if properly instructed, can, as truly believe, and be regenerated, as an adult." Ensuring the Gospel remains our foremost focus, leading children to Christ emerges as the pinnacle of ministry significance. Equipping ministry volunteers with the understanding of a child’s capabilities, and giving them necessary skills becomes imperative. Delving into the strategies, we'll uncover the essential dos and don'ts of this pivotal task. The stakes are nothing short of eternal; hence, our commitment to effectively guiding children toward a life-changing encounter with Christ is paramount.
Overall Program Evaluation & Suggestions
Sometimes all it takes is a fresh set of eyes and ears to move your program from mediocre to excellence. This could be an in-person observation, preceded by a meeting with the Children's Director and staff focusing on areas they feel need improving, or a one-on-one consultation.
