Learn how to use your leaders to hit a “Bulls Eye” with your next ministry project or event. |
|
Diamonds in the Rough by Becky Monte |

Discover how to identify and grow “The Diamonds in the Rough” sitting in your classroom every Sunday. Allowing your children to use and grow there gifts, passes the torch of faith to the next generation. |

Including the Nursery in the Big Picture by Melanie Szelong |
Your littlest students in the nursery are learning what it means to be a part of God’s family. Why not include them in everything the “Big Church” is doing? Learn how to take your senior pastor’s biblical teaching themes and adapt them for your nursery and preschool teaching. Your toddlers and preschoolers will be learning the same thing that mom and dad are learning, only at their own level. This concept is a real winner for bringing the whole church on-board together, sailing on one ship to the same destination. If you feel like your nursery is disconnected from your church as a whole, this workshop is highly recommended. |

Protect the children in your ministry by screening your volunteer workers carefully. Come and learn how to organize a system that includes an application, reference checks, criminal back check, interview and child safety policies. Don’t make your kids face an unnecessary risk! |
