Outreach
One of our callings as children’s ministry leaders is to reach as many children (and their families!) with the Good News of Jesus as possible. Here are some outreach ideas to help!
What You’ll Find
In our outreach section, you’ll find resources to help you host life-changing events. This will help you reach children and families not yet at your church. You’ll find numerous ideas centered around the church’s biggest community outreach programs: Easter, vacation Bible school, fall fest, and Christmas. You’ll also find information to help you reach out to families year-round. Plus we have ideas to teach children the importance of serving and missions—at home and abroad.
From articles like “How to Have a Successful Easter Egg Hunt for Church Outreach” to “How to Reach Families Near and Far” to “8 Super Service Projects for Kids,” you’ll find all the information you’ll need to reach and serve your community.
