Every other year, John Piper’s church puts on a conference for children’s ministry leaders. It’s always packed with practical help for kids ministry, but comes from a very God-centered angle. Plus, they share the content on their website without charge. So, here are the links for you to read about & listen to this amazing free children’s ministry training.
