How do you celebrate what God is doing in the life of your kids? One of the best environments that I get to participate in is Family Birthday Celebration. You can see a highlight of what this event looks like right here. One thing that I love about this event is how we capture on video the [...]

Who does it take to produce the KidStuf experience? A few years ago we changed our approach to KidStuf. You can learn more about that here. We are firm believers that you must have the right leaders in place before starting something new. Mike is our Multi-Campus KidStuf Director. He leads a Production Director on each [...]

Woo Hoo! Last week, during one of our busiest Sundays ever, I overheard one of our coaches talking to her team of volunteers. She was telling them that one of their teammates, a high school student, was getting baptized next week during the 11:00 service. She wanted to make sure that everyone on the team knew [...]

We only hire people on our children’s ministry staff, who will be great at working with volunteers. It doesn’t matter what amazing skills they possess, if they aren’t good with volunteers, they can’t be a part of the team. Why?

Once we heard it, we knew it was something to share! Last week we gathered all of our UpStreet volunteers together to challenge them with [...]

Worship is what you do to show God that you know who He is and what He has done. Worship is a critical part of a child’s spiritual growth. It’s just as important as Bible study, prayer, and small group time. Creating environments that allow our kids to genuinely worship God is one of our most [...]

How do you get the volunteers that you need? I’ve never really liked the term “recruiting” when it comes to volunteers. It seems to imply a sense of hunting, finding…which leads to begging and then “guilting.” The word that I like is ATTRACTING! We’ve learned the importance of creating the kind of environments that leaders [...]
