After Easter Sunday, what's next? What are the best ways to follow up with the families and kids who have visited your church? How do you build on what you have just done on Easter Sunday?

In this episode, we're diving deep into 7 simple things you can do the week after Easter or any big event to process and take the best next steps for your ministry!

Big budget, little budget, no budget? How can we be faithful stewards of the budgets and resources we have been given to facilitate Children's Ministry?

In this episode we're going to balance the budgets, check the receipts, and have fun while we discuss ways to be a little scrappy when it comes to saving money and doing all the things we do in KidMin!

We all have that closet or that room where things sometimes get dumped and left behind after a busy Sunday, Wednesday, or Children's Ministry event. So how do we go about keeping things clean up and organized?

Today we're going to talk all our tips and strategies for wrangling those messy closets and keeping things clean and tidy... or at least as much as possible before next Sunday comes around!

Join us as we bring on a guest co-host, Children's Pastor Riley Fleetwood, to discuss Gen Alpha, Gen Z, and Millennials in Ministry! We'll discuss how different generations can work together, understand one another, as well as explore what the kids in our ministries, Gen Alpha kids, need from the older generations as well as what they can teach us!

You won't want to miss this conversation no matter what generation you call your own!

It's the question we see most often this time of year: "What events could we do at Easter time besides an Easter Egg Hunt?" It's a such a good question we thought it deserved this whole episode! We'll break down several alternative ideas to the classic Easter Egg Hunt, as well as talk about how to figure out your "why" behind the event.

From outreach ideas to unique ways to remember what Jesus has done for us, this is the Easter episode you won't want to miss!

The world of KidMin Curricula is huge and it can be a big undertaking to decide what curriculum is best for your kid's church context! In this episode, we're going to break down the brief history of curricula and how we got where we are today, as well as look at what are the best questions to ask when researching for your church!

This is not an easy task, so we're here with some creative ideas to help you choose your kid's church curriculum!

We're talking all our tips and tricks for Bible storytelling! We have a high privilege in sharing the stories of Scripture with the kids entrusted to our ministries. So how can we convey the message in a way that is engaging, informative, and something kids will never forget?

Check out this episode to find out how to bring Bible stories to life in Kids Church, Sunday School, and beyond!

When it comes to choosing what curriculum is right for your church, the first question you need to ask is: What is my church's context? In other words, who is in my church? What methods does my church use to share Jesus with others? What style of worship service does my church have? All of these questions and more have an impact on your choices in ministry and how you can best meet the needs of the families in your church!

This week we'll break down how to figure out your church context with key questions, as well as see how your context relates to the curriculum you choose for your ministry!

Check-In can be one of the most stressful moments in Kid's Ministry, whether it's on Sunday morning, at a midweek program, or during a VBS. So how do we help kids, parents, and caregivers have a successful drop off into our ministries?

The answers to that question might just surprise you and have everything to do with the ways we welcome families into our children's ministry spaces. Join us today as we check in with and without tears, toys, and technology trouble!
