Good Question

It seems the only thing constant in Kids Ministry is change. While the message never changes, what and how we do things does. There are many details to consider and hurdles (or walls) to navigate. This session is designed to give a response, not necessarily an answer, to questions you’re currently wrestling with. Whether you’re new to ministry or well-seasoned, come ‘pick our brain’ and leave with some thoughts to consider in your environments.
