Episode Notes

Transferrable principles for churches of all sizes:

• Rely on kids/youth to be involved in ministry
  • Allow teenagers to lead in kids ministry
  • Create unique teams for young people to serve within and have ownership
  • “You will keep the ones you involve”
• Creativity always trumps budget
  • Creativity matters no matter what size church you lead in
  • Incorporate music into everything
  • Use lots of visuals

Church Plant:

• Ask the question “Why would they want to come back into the church?”
• Same applicable principle: “You will keep the ones you involve”

Children's Ministry Online (with a church plant):

• Amped up online presence
• Recording LIVE to post online later
• The Both/And (in-person and online)
  • Don't exclude either group
  • Consider those you currently serve (sick, elderly, unable to gather, etc.)
