RELEVANT CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

The most important thing we do in children's ministry is sharing the Gospel. 

Children are the greatest mission field in the world.  Their hearts are open and receptive to the Gospel.  We must get the Gospel to them and the Holy Spirit will draw them.

If sharing the Gospel is the most important thing we do, then we should consistently share it with the kids. 

Consistently meaning a bare minimum of once a month with every week being the best scenario.  You can take any lesson and tie it into the Gospel if you are intentional.

This verse makes it very clear that the Gospel is the key in seeing kids and parents come to Christ.  If the curriculum you are using or writing doesn't consistently share the Gospel, then it's time to make a change or adjustment.

How many children came to Christ last year in your ministry?  I can promise you the number of kids who came to Christ last year is in direct correlation with how often you shared the Gospel.

I see many churches today that spend more time teaching kids to be good over teaching kids to accept the Gospel and become a follower of Jesus.  We don't just need "good" kids, we need "Gospel" kids.

We only have a short window of time to share the Gospel with kids.  Stats show that the vast majority of people who come to Christ, do so when they are children. 

So what is a good strategy for sharing the Gospel with kids?  I am going to share with you a few resources that can help you reach kids with the Gospel.  And it's not based on just theory, but on proof.  We saw 460 kids accept Jesus and follow Him in baptism in one year by using these tools.

These are great resources that you can also use to see more kids and parents enter a relationship with Jesus through your ministry.  Check them out below.
