ATTENTION!

ALL Children’s Ministries Directors, Children’s Pastors, Preschool Coordinators, Teachers, and Volunteer Children’s Workers!

 

·        Are you tired of having your Preschool Ministry looked at as nothing more than a glorified baby-sitting service?

 

·        Have you asked yourself the question – “What do I do with the kids that are too old for the nursery but too young to sit through a full fledged children’s church service with the big kids?”

 

·        Are you ready to break out of the mundane "baby-sitting" approach to preschool ministry that has been used for decades and turn loose your God-given creativity while leading and teaching others to do the same?

 

·        Are you ready to think "outside the box" and let the Lord lead you in developing a custom approach to early childhood ministry in your church? One that fits the needs of your kids AND your volunteers?

 

·        Are you looking for ways to prevent "worker burn-out" in your Early Childhood Ministry area?

 

·        Do you want to make sure that every child has multiple opportunities during every service to hear, understand, and demonstrate THE BIBLICAL TRUTH you are trying to get across that day?

 

Dear Fellow Children’s Minister,

 

Now that I have your attention, I want to ask you, How much is the eternal soul of a young child worth?

 

Suppose you could sit down, lay out a simple outline for your children’s service, follow it and change eternity for one child?

 

Imagine, one simple, focused service could change eternity for thousands because you might just have the next D.L. Moody or Billy Graham sitting in your Preschool Ministry right now!

 

Now imagine that you were able to do the same thing each and every week.  I’ll be honest, none of us know what God has in store for those He places in our ministry.  With that in mind, I ask you, “With all that is at stake, how can you do anything less than the very best for His kids?”

 

The answer:  You can’t!

 

And that’s why I believe God has led me to share with you the tools and techniques I use in my own ministry each and every Sunday with dynamic results and responses from kids, parents, and volunteers. 

 

My 4 year old has received many teachings with this method.  He came home excited after church asking me, “How can I stand up for Jesus?”

 

This was the weekly lesson and he was able to receive, understand, and desire to put into practice.  I am thankful for a program that helps fuel and support my child’s spiritual growth.

Sincerely,

A Thankful Mother

Sachse, Texas

 

It all started in November of 2003 when I was asked to coordinate the training of twenty-one volunteers for a major two week evangelistic outreach our church was doing.  As the event drew closer, my wife and I were asked if we would provide ministry for the preschoolers during the evening services.  We accepted and entered the world of Preschool Ministry. 

 

By the end of the two weeks, we had completed fourteen services and had learned a lot.  As a result of those two weeks, my approach and philosophy of Preschool Ministry has forever changed.  Those two weeks opened the door to becoming Preschool Pastor at Sachse Assembly of God.

Now, I want to give you the benefit of all that I have learned and help you create your own highly effective Preschool Ministry starting today!

 

As an intelligent individual, you realize the value of learning from other people’s experiences, both positive and negative.  You know the importance of being able to take a concept and personalize it so that it works for you.  You believe it is better to work smarter than harder and you have no desire to totally reinvent the wheel.

 

As you get and then study every word of this book, you will become convinced of three things:

·        God cares for Preschool Kids and wants you to minister to them

·        Organization and Creativity are vital to Effective Preschool Ministry

·        You CAN minister effectively to Preschool Children

 

Almost anyone could use your ideas regardless of their experience level in the ministry.

Here are just some of the benefits you of the methods you will learn:

 

ü      Low or No Cost Ways to Improve Your Children’s Ministry

ü      A Formula For Continued Effectiveness – not just a one time shot of curriculum

ü      A Clear Simple Program that is ready to use

ü      Practical ministry methods you can use (I do), not just a bunch of theory

ü      How to move past the baby-sitting mentality of Preschool Ministry

ü      Secrets to recruiting, training, and appreciating ministry volunteers

 

Before I go any further, I would like to give you an opportunity to understand my philosophy of Preschool Ministry.

 

As a Preschool Minister, we get to till the ground and plant the seeds.  There are even times when we get to water what was planted.  As we are faithful to do what God has called us to do, there are also times He blesses us with seeing a plant begin to sprout.  Then, on a very rare occasion, we actually get to reap the harvest of a precious young soul that still has years they can give to Christ.

 

This philosophy and heartfelt belief has inspired me to write this book.  I realize I can only minister to a few and I know that the Lord has definitely blessed my ministry.  Please allow me to share some of what I have learned with you.

 

Here are some of the topics covered:

  • Welcome to Children’s Ministry

CHAPTER 5:
KEEP THAT TRAIN MOVING

 

One of the biggest secrets to successful Preschool Ministry is that you have to keep the kids interested in what is happening.  In order to keep them interested, you have to keep things moving.  Your acceptance of and reaction to this truth will directly determine the success of your Preschool Ministry. 

 

My Audience?

That’s right, I said audience. In today’s world of Barney, Nick Jr., and The Disney Channel, you have to be willing and able to compete for kids’ attention.  What does that mean?  You have to be willing and able to put on a show for kids.  In other words, you have to give them what they want!  What a concept!  If you don’t give them what they want, they will “TURN YOU OFF” and escape to their own little world of imagination.  Now don’t get me wrong, I understand that we are working with preschoolers and there will be days when some of them will “TURN YOU OFF” no matter what you do or how well you do it. 

 

CHAPTER 7:
WHICH CARS WILL YOU PULL TODAY?
The Elements of a Successful Preschool Worship Service

 

Now that we understand we need to have a central theme, or The Power of One, which runs throughout our day and that we have to Keep Things Moving, let’s take a moment to focus on what makes up a successful Preschool Worship Service.

 

The elements that make up a successful Preschool Worship Service are much the same as the elements that make up an adult worship service or a successful elementary Children’s Worship Service.

The basic elements are:

·   Songs

·   Music

·   Storytelling

·   Bible Stories

·   Prayer

·   Incidentals

 

There are also a couple of items that are basic to a Children’s Worship Service but probably would not be welcomed in the adult arena.  These items are puppets and crazy characters. In the pages that follow, I will discuss each one of these elements as it relates to the successful Preschool Worship Service.

 

CHAPTER 11:
PULLING OUT THE FANCY CARS
The Awesome Power of Big Events for Preschoolers

More Than Day To Day

We all know that it is the day to day things that keep us going.  They are what give our life consistency, but we also know that it is the big events or the special occasions, holidays, anniversaries, weddings, and parties that make life a lot more fun.  While many of us consider putting on big events for elementary age children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged adults, senior adults, and every other group of people in the church, sometimes a very special population slips through without being noticed.  That group is the preschool group.

 

 

CHAPTER 13:
HOW TO PREVENT A TRAIN WRECK PART ONE –

KEEPING THE GOOD GUYS IN

 

Many Children’s Departments are held together by construction paper and glue stick. With this in mind, I would like to take you through a few steps that will help you strengthen your Children’s Ministry, your Children’s Department, your church, and ultimately the Kingdom of God.  It is not my desire to see any Children’s Ministry fail and anything that I can offer to avert that is nothing more than “my reasonable act of worship” (Romans 12:1) to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

 

Getting the Good Guys On Board

The truth is, a successful Preschool Ministry is not and never will be a one man show.  You can think of Preschool Ministry like the faithful crew that keeps the train rolling down the track.  There are several people that work on the train besides the Engineer or the Conductor.  You have those who take the tickets, those who work the brakes, and those that provide maintenance to make sure everything is ready to go.  You also have the hero of days gone by, the one who sits in the caboose and gives everyone a friendly wave.  It is his responsibility to keep an eye on the train and make sure everything runs smoothly.

 

Many Hands

Just like a successful train trip, Preschool Ministry has many different positions and many different processes that demand our attention. It requires lots and lots of hands and lots and lots of volunteers. 

 

OK, So How Much Will This Incredible Resource Cost Me?

If I were to try to put a price on the journey that has brought me to this point, I could not.  I have spent countless hours in ministry, years in Bible school, hours providing and attending Children’s Ministry Training sessions, and hundreds or thousands of dollars on Children’s Ministry resources. There is no way to put a price on my life, nor is there a way to put a price on the value of one soul.

 

That being said, I am offering you the opportunity to receive this valuable, ministry changing resource for a total investment of just $24.95 for the professionally bound soft-cover version of the book including the data CD containing the eBook version of the text as well as the bonus files.  The lives you will touch and change as a result of these proven techniques will very easily justify the meager investment you make.

 

So why am I practically giving away the tools, techniques, and truths it has taken me years to learn and put together?

 

Well, it’s really quite simple.  It is my desire to train as many people as possible to reach and teach the precious young souls in our churches today.  I want to put in your hands the tools to do this more efficiently and effectively. 

 

I was left with the feeling that you really were writing the book to improve Children's Ministries and to ultimately serve God, rather than make a buck.
