Kids?

 

 

 

We can help!

Training children is more than good methods. It is more than owning a closet full of  great tools. 

Training kids is  committed leaders choosing to "make tracks" after God. Training kids is helping children choose the right track in life. 

We're passionate about training leaders that will make a difference in the lives of children. We don't just talk about children's ministry, we do it!  We are commissioned by God and committed to helping leaders shape the destiny of this generation more effectively than ever. 

We can help! Attend one of our seminars and you'll be encouraged, challenged and motivated to do greater things for God by tapping into His strength and ability.

 

Why should your staff attend?

Inspiration. Children’s ministry is labor intensive. Fresh inspiration is necessary to maintain a focused staff.

They will develop new skills and reinforce existing skills to make teaching a joy.

Minimize teacher burnout.

It’s inexpensive. While comparable seminars cost $50 dollars this conference is much less expensive.

Your staff will be exposed to new and cutting edge resources that increase effectiveness.  

How is this seminar different? 

Much more than just a series of how-to workshops, this seminar is different.

The Passion. We love children’s ministry and children’s workers. We’ve ministered in both large and small churches for over 30 years. We understand the problems and needs of children’s workers.

It will stir up the gifts that God has deposited in your life. There are special gifts that God has deposited in your life. Instead of copying what you see others do, you'll be challenged to develop the special gifts in your life. Again and again, you'll say, "I can do that." You'll be challenged to do it and do it better than ever!

Strong spiritual focus. While most seminars focus on only the mechanics,  this seminar will stir your staff to lead the children into the presence of God and yet teach strong biblical truths.

It's a local seminar with lots of choices. This seminar has 3 different tracks to choose from and 5 sessions so you'll have lots of sessions to choose from.

Parenting Conference Workshop

 

 Dear Pastor/Christian Education Director

Parents are facing a tremendous challenge as they try to raise Godly children in our society. Busy lifestyles leave parents drained with little reserves to nourish their children. While the constant pull of the ungodly influences demand that children be prepared or sucked into the downward spiral. There is a tremendous need for parents to be encouraged, taught and held accountable to shape the destiny of precious children that Almighty God has placed in their care. The church should be a refuge where parents can be refueled and receive directions that will help them accomplish their God given responsibility. And we would like to help you accomplish that objective. 

 

We would like to come into your church for a one or two-day seminar called “Train ‘em Right.” You can customize the seminar to fit your needs, choosing from eight different workshops with the Family Celebration Option.   You can open it to other parents in your community or limit it to your membership. We want to help you impact families.

 

What will this seminar do for your parents?

·         Inspire them to be better parents. Parenting is hard work. Biblical illustrations will inspire your parents and renew their spiritual passion to be the parents God wants them to be-not perfect, but good.

·         They will learn new skills and reinforce existing skills to make training a joy.

·         Depending on the workshops you select they’ll learn how to understand the different personalities, discipline ideas and ways to train them according to God’s Word.

 

How is this seminar different?

The Passion. We love children and parents. As both a parent and a children’s minister for over 25 years we understand the needs of children and want to pass that passion on to parents.

Strong Spiritual Focus. While most seminars focus on only the mechanics, this seminar will stir your parents to include their children as they pursue God and develop strong biblical character.
