Missions In Children's Ministry

Jim, an overworked, underpaid children’s pastor, doesn’t have a program for missions in his children’s ministry. “I have enough to do without teaching the children about countries they’ll never visit. Besides missions aren’t important to these children.”

Kathy, another overwhelmed children’s pastor, understands that missions should be a part of her children’s program. Once a year, she takes two weeks to teach the children about missions. She’ll have the children collect offerings for the church… Continue

10 Ways To Build A Children's Ministry Team

Have Qualifications: No matter how tempted you are to recruit any warm body you can find, don’t lower your standards. Let people know that only people who meet certain qualifications can be on your team. It takes longer to do it this way, but the workers you recruit will be long term team members who will add to your effectiveness in ministry. Here’s a link to help you recruit workers.

Have Clear Expectations: When you recruit a member to your team, let him know what you expect fr… Continue

Starting a Drama/Performance Team

There are many kinds of drama and performance teams you can start for your children’s ministry. These teams allow children the opportunity to minister in front of a congregation and are great to give children the opportunity to do outreach. Here are some steps if you would like to start a team.

Decide what children will be on the team. Are you going to have every child in the church participate or only those that are interested? Will you have auditions? Also determine the ages of those who will… Continue

Bio:
I have been in children's ministry for twenty-two years. For twenty years, I was on staff at two separate churches. During that time, I wrote children's curriculum and taught in workshops. I also won the 2007 National Children's Leaders Association Shepherds Cup for lifetime acheivement in children's ministry. More importantly, I have been in the trenches doing children's ministry at the local church.

My desire is to see revival come to children and to mentor other children's leaders who have the same desire.

Tamera,

I just wanted to stop by and encourage you to keep up the awesome work ministering to children!

You are needed!

My name is Jerry Moyer. I am a children's evangelist that travels across the United States & Canada ministering to children and families.

Our ministry is called The Jubilee Gang.

The Jubilee Gang is a fast paced multi-media ministry to children and families.

Our goals are to see as many men, women, boys, & girls born again as possible, to stir up believers to be all they can be for God, and teach them to reach out to the world around them with the Good News of the Gospel.

Our presentation is very entertaining, but we are 100% about ministry.

If we can ever be of any service to you or you need anything please feel free to contact me.

God Bless You!
Jerry

Hey! God is doing great things! I am doing so much better. Even the doctors have acknowledged that my recovery is "totally remarkable!" and they cannot explain it. Please continue to pray for me--I truly appreciate it!

Take care!

Hey Tamera, welcome to the site. There's so many great things to get here. I see you're a very busy lady!! My family used to live in Westlake, Ohio so I know exactly where Akron is. Nice place. If you're interested in a unique tried and true program for discipling kids, our website can be reached by clicking on the "KidzQuest" ad on the right side of this page. Check it out! If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Once again, welcome to the group!

Hey Tamara!
Brent Weber, Yancy and I have created a new Group for worship leaders called "Worship Leaders Round Table with Brent W, Yancy and Uncle Charlie". We are transferring some of our most popular topics to that group. The topic on involving boys was very popular, so we are basically transferring those responses to the same question we posed on the new Group.

Can you do us a huge favor and simple copy your reponse below and paste it under that question on our new Group? Thank you so much, and God Bless!
Uncle Charlie

One other suggestion I have is to do praise primers - short object lessons on why or how to praise - that lead the children into praise and worship.

Hey Tamera,
Thanks for joining my Group!
My name is Charlie Bancroft (Uncle Charlie). I live in Tampa, FL.
I do kids worship - that's what I'm about. We tour the country, record kids worship CD's and have developed a kids worship series called Made 2 Praise in order to help leaders lead in their own settings. If kids worship is something you need help or ideas with, feel free to ask! I'm here to help.

You are welcome to check out my page & sample my videos and/or songs. You can also sample every one of my songs, visuals, etc on my web site at www.unclecharlie.com.

If there is anything else I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask. I have other great friends in children's music ministry that I can introduce you to if you would like. We're soon to start a new group together specifically for those who lead their children's worship.

Enjoy the site! I hope you continue make a lot of friends and contacts!
God Bless!
