Here's 10 tips from 22 years of asking questions, making mistakes, observing, and grappling in Children's Ministry. Hope they help.
- Who you are is more important than what you do.
- Make people skills one of your priority growth areas.
- People don't follow a title...they follow someone they love and respect.
- There will always be someone who is not happy with your decision...accept it and don't try to appease everyone.
- It's not what you can do, it's what you can empower others to do.
- Learn from everyone...everywhere...everyday.
- When hiring...look at what someone has done in the past. Location doesn't change people. Past performance usually indicates future performance.
- Take your day off and use your vacation time. Your future in ministry depends on it.
- Your greatest ministry is at home.
- Details done well make the plan gel.
