An Introduction to Children and Family Ministry
Jesus shared His great love for children and His desire that they be inclusive of mission and ministry.  Today's parent will do most anything for their child and parents want to be involved in the educational/training process.  Children's ministry and ministry to families can take on a varied look.  Congregations are encouraged to develop a ministry that meets the needs of children and families.

Ministry to Families and Children
You are encouraged to explore the links to see what fits the needs in your ministry setting:
 
 
Early Childhood Connections (scroll down to see a variety of resources awaiting your exploration!)
 
Children's Ministry Leadership Training (designed for volunteers and professionals)
 
DIRECTed (designed for the professional learning community -- an online experience)
 
The Growing in Christ Nursery Roll  packet offers your church the opportunity to share with families of small children the biblical and age-appropriate ways to talk to their children about Jesus.  Periodically - for the first three years of the child's life - a designated person in the church sends the family materials from the packet to nurture the child's spiritual, emotional, and physical development.

This fun magazine is a wonderful resource to help parents talk about Jesus with their children.)
 
My Devotions (Encourage 8- to 12-year-olds to build a habit of daily Bible reading at home! My Devotions is an excellent resource that points children to the Word through stories and situations to which they can relate.)
 
CPH (LCMS publisher of preschool curriculum and resources)
 
Kid's Kount (a curriculum that is creative and engages children and families - developed by King of Kings Lutheran in Omaha, NE)
 
Home Base E-journal (An electronic journal on Christian Family Life published on a monthly basis, offering resources and insights related to family life and support those doing ministry with families.)
