This week we are honoring Amy Dolan as our Kidmin Champion of the Week. Her blog is widely followed, even making the final four in our little contest last March. She also has an impressive resume of real world ministry experience, church consulting, and conference speaking. I should mention her lead role in the excellent What Matter’s Now in Children’s Ministry ebook.
What I like about Amy is her humble attitude and passion for kids ministry. It’s often hard to balance the two, but she has the rare ability to say hard things in a loving way. Much of her writing is self-reflective and always on target.
I have never met Amy in person, but feel like I know her after following her blog and video posts. She has often left comments on our site and we’ve kicked around some ideas through email. If you want to keep up with her, you can find her on Twitter or check out her blog. In June, she is speaking at the CM Telesummit.
Thank you Amy for being an advocate of Kids Ministry.
The comments on this post are open for you to leave encouragement for Amy. Feel free to share something you have learned from her website or just say thanks for all her work to promote kids ministry.

I wondered how you were going to follow up Jim Wideman and Karl Bastian. Amy is an excellent choice! Like you, I’ve never met her personally, but I feel like I know her. Her blog and her insights on twitter and elsewhere have been a blessing to me. Her “Build A Better Meeting” series that she currently posts each Monday is a great resource regardless of what you do, and her insights in Children’s Ministry are thought provoking and (as you point) always presented with grace and transparency. I have particularly enjoyed discussing the issue of story and storytelling and how it relates to children’s ministry with Amy and look forward to continuing that discussion. I am looking forward to her talk at the TeleSummit!
