Minister of Children
Hunter Street Baptist Church, Hoover
Most of us grew up in churches where age-level ministries stood on their own. There was no connection between the different ministry areas and no teamwork to influence families. Thankfully that is changing. Many churches and ministries realize they need a comprehensive, team approach to leading the next generation.
Even in our ministries most of us have been guilty of operating in a silo mindset without intentionally looking for ways to connect to the age-level ministries before and after us. As a children’s minister, how do you connect with the preschool ministry and build on the foundation that has been established with that ministry? Have you considered asking the student minister to partner on some of your big events during the year to help build relationships with kids, parents and leaders for the future?
I think we would all agree Scripture teaches us that parents are the spiritual leaders for their children. We the Church can’t take on that responsibility. But we can be intentional about how we partner with parents to lay spiritual foundations as a team in age-level ministries.
Look for ways to collaborate and connect ministry areas to have the greatest impact. Go team, go!
