Creating a Budget for Your Ministry
Small Church Kidmin
by Bill Gunter
3y ago
I remember the first time that I had to submit a budget for a ministry. Fortunately, my first budget was prepared by someone else and I simply had to administer it. I learned many things during those early years which has helped me prepare, submit, defend, and administer budgets over the years. While each church ... [Read more ..read more

I have been to several large national conferences and they all offer excellent general sessions and breakouts. They offer a lot of good resources and you get to fellowship with many other like minded people doing their best to reach children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Where There is No Vision, The People (the Ministry) Perish…

This is a quote from Proverbs 29:18 that is often misquoted and used improperly. I will openly admit that I am not using this quote as a scriptural reference, simply as an oft used quote that is familiar to people. This is also not a blanket analysis of children’s ministries, simply observations from a distance ... [Read more ..read more

It is true that we can often be our own harshest critic. Personally, I am very hard on myself. If you point out how nice my yard looks, I focus on the unseen (or sometimes seen) weeds and flaws. If you ask me how I think my breakouts went after a conference, or how I ... [Read more ..read more

Do You Have a Near-Sighted View of Ministry?
Small Church Kidmin
by Bill Gunter
3y ago
In March, many ministries became faced with the challenge of reaching people when they would no longer be able to come to the building. They now needed to reach out to people, they had to “go to them” instead of having them “come to us”. This was a seismic shift for many. Some struggled, some ... [Read more ..read more

Today, Awana makes a bold move as they formally enter the heavily saturated weekend curriculum market in the United States. They also enter at a time when many children’s ministries are not meeting in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That may be seen as a hurdle to some, but it could also be seen ...

Turn on the television, radio, computer, or any means of hearing the news, or gossip, and you will be bombarded with information about SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it causes which has been named coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19.
