Best Practices for Children's Ministry: Leading from the Heart

Do you think churches sometimes use children as bait to help their numbers? That Children's Ministry is just a babysitting service? That volunteers just want to have snack with the kids instead of guiding them? You're probably right. Kids need leaders these days. Most are surrounded by pop culture, bad language, and faulty guidance. It's time for people that have a heart for children to step up and take their place in the church. In Best Practices for Children's Ministry, Andrew Ervin teaches those who want to be mentors to children how to combine vision, passion, and practicality. For those who want to be a Children's Ministry leader, this book will help you develop a clear understanding of what it means to be a leader, discover a vision that people want to follow, and even draw in a team of dependable volunteers. Most importantly, you'll learn what kind of direction that children need most. It's not another theme park, technological advancement, or Disney show; what children need the most is a spiritual role model.
