First, you’ve got to read this article: CLICK HERE TO READ ARTICLE So, I come across this article and it makes me think. Do we have a duty as Christian leaders to stand up and voice Biblical ethics/standards/culture/etc? Or, for the case of “not offending” anyone do we stay quiet so we can possibly have…
Is it wrong to want to become a “superstar” kids pastor to the kids of your church? I think about when I walk through the halls of my church or see my kids around Las Vegas they always scream out “HEY, IT’S PASTOR JUSTYN!” and run over people to give me a high five or…
So, not thinking that yesterday was April Fool’s Day, I’ve been told that some people think the Napkin Conference is a hoax–all made up–fake–doesn’t exist. Don’t be like that crazy kangaroo on Horton Hears A Who! Be Horton because the conference is real baby! That’s right it’s the real deal–it ain’t no happy meal. www.napkinconference.com…
Okay, so I have a temporary website (who knows I might make it permanent) where I have posted all the information for Napkin Conference in February 2010. The only thing I don’t have up and working is the registration button, but that’s because our church is changing systems right now. However, if you do want…

In the March/April 2009 edition of K! Magazine I talk about five things that I have learned and in some cases still learning. Here is number eight: Patience, Patience, Patience!

In the March/April 2009 edition of K! Magazine I talk about five things that I have learned and in some cases still learning. Here is number six: WORK WELL WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS No matter if you’re a church plant or a mega church, every church has several departments whether it be children, youth, adults, worship,…
So, here’s a question for ya’ll. We have a goal in our kid’s ministry to go from 700 to 1700 kids actively attending The Kids (our children’s ministry) by December 2010. We are a weekend-driven church and do a lot of big weekend events. We currently have four weekend experiences—one on Saturday night and three…
I read a very interesting article by David T. Olson. He states that by 2050 only 10% of Americans will attend church on any given Sunday. What!? That’s crazy! Children’s ministry is more important than ever before. These are our kids deciding not to attend church. These are the kids that we’re not reaching. In…
