I’ve been doing children’s ministry for a long time.
The last 8 years I’ve been a full time children’s pastor, leading at least two Bible lessons each week.
That’s a lot of talking…
I hope some has been helpful, fun, and honoring to God.
Too much has been confusing, boring, and not-so-helpful.
So, here’s the question I’m asking myself.
What will the kids in your ministry remember most in 10 years – the details of the lesson plan or the smile when you talk about Jesus?
Both are important, but actually knowing Jesus matters most.
