There’s No Place Like Home (Neil Gilliland)

Children’s Ministry:
Making learning meaningful, engaging, and fun (Carrie Hawkins)

We will talk about activities and strategies that will engage your kids and will help them to relate to what you are teaching them through God’s word.

Children’s Ministry:
The good, the discouraging, and the rewarding parts of working with kids (Carrie Hawkins)
In this workshop we will talk about the good, the discouraging, and the rewarding aspects of children’s ministry. We will discuss ways to encourage our children in this dark world. We will discuss the importance of mentoring and developing meaningful relationships with the students we teach each week. We will cover the difficult parts of dealing with children and how we can overcome them. 

Worship Ministry:
