Our Children's Ministry

My husband is the Children's Pastor at our church, and we are responsible for children's church every Sunday.  We actually have a children's ministry website and an adult married couples' Sunday School class as well, and I will be sharing some tidbits about our ministries here every Sunday.

We go to a somewhat-rural Baptist church, located a couple of miles on the outskirts of a town with about 10,000 folks.  Our church runs two small buses, and my Beloved drives one of them.  His bus only has a capacity of like 20-something people, so they really are *small.*

Our children's church has anywhere from 40ish to over 70 kids each week, depending on the time of year and whether we are doing some type of special promotion or anything.  I would estimate that about half of our crowd is "bus kids" and the other half is the drive-in crowd whose parents or grandparents bring them to church and attend the main service in the auditorium.

Our children's church kids are pretty well-behaved, and we really haven't had many discipline problems.  However, I wanted to share this article about children's church discipline and encourage you, if you have ever been involved in children's ministry, to scroll to the bottom of that page and share some input.
