In ministry, calendars fill up fast. Between planning events, training volunteers, and caring for families, the pressure to “just get it all done” can pull ministry leaders in different directions. And when kids and student ministries aren’t aligned, the result isn’t just double-booked spaces - it’s missed opportunities for unity, shared vision, and sustainable impact. What if we saw scheduling not just as logistics, but as ministry in itself? What if collaboration wasn’t a burden, but a blessing that strengthens our teams and better serves the families we lead?
In this episode, we pause to reflect on the importance of planning together with purpose and how collaboration can create a seamless, gospel-centered experience for the next generation. Chuck Peters, along with Tristan Meza and Randy Craft, dive into a conversation about scheduling and collaboration between kids and student ministry teams. They unpack the challenges that come with overlapping events, misaligned planning, and lack of communication, and offer real-life solutions for building stronger coordination and unity.
When Next Gen teams plan and lead with unity, families experience consistency, volunteers feel supported, and ministries become more effective in making disciples. Scheduling isn’t just about the calendar - it’s about honoring the mission.
If this episode helped you think differently about teamwork and scheduling in ministry, take a moment to rate, review, and share the podcast. Send it to someone on your team, and let it spark a conversation about how you can better collaborate for Kingdom impact.
