Rock-Solid Children's Ministry: Biblical Principles That Will Transform Your Ministry - Hardcover

How Do We Measure Success in Our Ministry to Kids? In children's ministry, the essence of what we do is to impact the immeasurable--the heart of a child. While Bible knowledge is highly valuable in this endeavor, "knowing Scripture" does not automatically translate to changing the heart of a child. "Practical application "is also desirable, but changing behavior can be done without a heart change. "Relating Scripture "in such a way that it meets a child where he or she is at is critical, but as an approach, it may fail to build a solid enough foundation to equip children for the challenges that they will face later in life. All three approaches must be synergized to have a greater impact, and all three must be retargeted at the "bull's eye"--the heart of a child. Read this book to discover the seven standards of a rock-solid children's ministry!
