- Partners make the conference happen. Which organization or business do you know who either has resources the children's ministry should know about or has a passion for children's ministry and would be willing to partner with us?
- Volunteer
- From behind-the-scenes organization, to week-of shopping for food and supplies, to volunteers during the 2-day event in the kitchen, breakout rooms, registration centre and more, we need an army of people serving those who serve kids and families throughout the year!

FAQ's
Who are the leadership labs for?
Leadership Labs seek to go in-depth with current issues and pressing concerns for those in leadership in children's ministry. While all are welcome, we definitely direct these labs to those "in charge" - children's pastors, Sunday School superintendents and ministry directors.
what if I can only attend part of the conference?
We arrange the conference schedule so if only part of the time is available to you, you can still benefit. Come for the parts you can! We do not offer partial ticket prices, so a full registration is required even if you can only attend one day. Tickets are fully transferable so you are welcome to share your ticket!
Can i just attend the leadership lab?
Yes. Online registration is not available however you can register for JUST the leadership labs by emailing awesome.kidmin.conference@gmail.com and we'll make it work!
I have food allergies! can you accommodate?
We want to do our best to make the conference accessible, however we cannot commit to accommodating all food allergies. We are not a nut-free site. We do our best to purchase foods that do not contain nuts, however we do source baking from non-dedicated kitchens.
If you do have dietary restrictions, please let us know. We can't make any promises, but we'll see what we can do!
We are happy to share our menu with anyone who has specified food allergies so that attendees with food sensitivities can come prepared.
