Cross Formed Kidmin
Welcome to the Cross Formed Kidmin podcast. A weekly children's ministry podcast made for kidmin pastors, leaders, and volunteers.
Every Tuesday your hosts Ryan, Hunter, and Sam, realease a brand new episode discussing key topics, answering questions, and sharing insights from our combined 60 years of experience with kid and family ministry.
We know that leading a kids ministry in todays ever changing world can feel overwhelming , if not impossible! Busy schedules, disengaged families, and scattered priorities all seem to work together to block your ministry's success.
Join us each week as we help you make the most of your ministry and join God in raising up the next generation of life long Christ followers.
After all, building a fruitful kids ministry is always a miracle, but it's never an accident.
