About This Course
Research suggests that children need more than their immediate family to join them on their faith journey to truly receive and hold on to key messages. In other words, for important messages to stick with a child, they need to hear it repeatedly from many trusted adults who know them well. In this course, Children’s Ministry Volunteer Essentials, you’ll discover how to positively contribute to children’s spiritual growth in ways that last beyond Sunday morning. Join Meredith Miller, a pastor, parent, and writer with over 20 years of experience in children’s ministry and curriculum, as you learn the significance of developmental stages, how to create meaningful conversations, and to recognize the opportunity to make a kingdom impact by consistently showing up for kids and their families with confidence and joy each week.
