Fill Up Your KidMin Toolbox!
Children’s ministry is a lot like building a house—you need the right tools, a solid plan, and skilled hands to bring the vision to life. But even the best leaders can’t do it alone or with dull tools. That’s why the KidMin Leadership Gathering 2025 is more than just a one-day training—it’s a toolbox upgrade for your ministry.
This one-day event is designed to give you practical, hands-on help in three core areas:
-
Leading Yourself Well – Before you can lead others, you have to lead yourself. You’ll learn how to manage your time, protect your energy, and stay spiritually healthy so you can lead from a place of strength.
-
Ministry Tool Talk – We’ll brainstorm together and explore the top tools used in our ministry settings, and you’ll hear from other leaders about their favorite tools that can streamline your systems, improve communication, and engage families in new ways.
-
Bible Teacher Tools – Teaching the Bible to kids doesn’t have to be complicated. We’ll dive into creative strategies and must-have techniques that make God’s Word come alive for the children you serve.
You’ll explore these topics with three experienced, passionate leaders who know what it takes to build a thriving children’s ministry:
Joy Canupp from Simply Joy – Joy is a leadership coach, speaker, and ministry mentor who helps leaders clarify their purpose, simplify their strategy, and lead with confidence. With years of experience in church leadership, Joy brings wisdom and grace to the conversation about self-leadership. Her session will challenge and inspire you to care for the leader God created you to be—so you can lead others well, too.
Brittany Nelson from Deeper KidMin – As the founder of Deeper KidMin, Brittany equips children’s ministry leaders with downloadable resources made FOR KidMin Leaders BY KidMin Leaders. Her session (shared virtually) offers a practical look and a guided discussion about the tools every ministry leader should have in their toolbox. Covering both physical and digital tools, Brittany’s session helps you work smarter, not harder, and learn from leaders like you.
Vanessa Myers from Family Faith Builders – Vanessa is a children’s ministry veteran and author who is passionate about helping kids know and love God’s Word. Her practical session will equip you with fun, meaningful ways to teach the Bible so it sticks. You’ll walk away with fresh ideas, renewed confidence, and ready-to-use tools for Sunday mornings.
Whether you’re just starting out in ministry or you’ve been serving for decades, the KidMin Leadership Gathering 2025 offers something for every leader. You’ll connect with other local kidmin leaders, trade ideas and resources, and walk away with a clearer vision and a fuller toolbox.
