Synergy 2022 - Coaching Your Staff

We want our work with kids to be practical, measurable and sustainable. Our goal is to teach kids how to draw closer to God and be spiritually resilient as they mature into the leaders of the church. We want them to be disciples of Christ and have a heart that beats for spiritual relationship with a Savior. But what constructs will allow us to do that? Using the 8 Goals of Children's Ministry written by David Boyd, we will develop a system that sets you up to present a measurable outcome to parents. This easily replicated process will allow you to track the progress of any number of children as they progress through your predetermined task list. You will learn the 8 goals, receive a spreadsheet form that will allow you to enter your tasks and then track the progress of each student individually. Use this information for conversations with parents, pastors, board members, kids and team members so they can see the impact of the progress your kids are making.

Synergy 2022 - Practical Ways To Implement And Track Progress In Kids: Eight Sustainable Goals

A gatherer is a people magnet who is able to draw people in spiritual pursuits of Jesus Christ - they are able to say “Come with me and see." The Bible tells us MUCH about this person, but the church in the USA really does not know who this person is nor how to put them to work in the harvest. Join us as we begin an initial conversation about Gatherers (about GSE) - who Gatherers are, how we discover them and put them to work in the harvest for both church planting as well as established church harvest work.

At National Youth Convention in 2019, a prophetic word was spoken over Gen Z stating that this was going to be an unconventional generation, full of unconventional dreams, unconventional speech, and unconventional giving. The goal of youth ministry with this generation is to take this unique group of young people and develop within them a passion for the things of God that will compel them to use their unconventional attributes for His kingdom. In this session, we will break down some practical steps for Youth Leaders to take to increase student participation in missions, including Speed the Light, missions awareness, and going on missions trips.

Synergy 2022 - Nuts and Bolts of Kids Ministry

There's not a person on this earth that doesn't appreciate having people in their lives that honor them, regardless of title or position. Being able to serve others in their calling and mission isn't always easy, but it's an incredible calling that we all share. Whether it's your pastor who is leading a church, parents leading their kids, or students finding their calling, our job is to honor them and serve them in any way we can to help make it happen. And without good communication we will lose them. We would love to have you join us as we discuss this.
