Kids Ministry.
Take a peek behind the scenes of what it takes to run a kids ministry.
We try to share a little bit of what we've learned that works for us and some of our failures so you can avoid the same mistakes.
This is a backstage pass to see the magic-or disaster-that happens behind the scenes of our kids ministry.

Find the Funny
Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about comedy in Sunday School!
If you've ever been on stage in Sunday school, you know that moment of panic: "I'm not naturally goofy enough for this!" But here's the wonderful secret - making kids laugh doesn't require you to be the class clown or master of silly faces. Children are incredibly perceptive audiences who respond to authentic, committed performances just as much as adults do. While we try to balance comedy, it is still a useful tool to engage kids’ attention.
Some of what we try to cover:
- Create a Funny Situation Instead of a Joke
- Use Honest Reactions
- Let the Kids Be the Smart Ones
- Play With Status
