KIDMIN TALK 178 - Kidmin on MISSION
Rise above the weekly to-do's and lead a ministry that is focused on the MISSION of Children's Ministry. Yes, you've got to get stuff done, but when you have a clear focus on the WHY, the what becomes much more motivating. Today, Pastor Karl explains how he unpacks his children's ministry Mission Statement for his leaders at his volunteer orientation. They might come thinking they are going to learn the policies and procedures of the children's ministry, but they leave excited to change kids' lives. When you lead a Kidmin on Mission, recruiting is easier and everyone steps up and goes the extra mile because they understand what is at stake - the transformation of kids' lives.
