A note to senior pastors —

If you’re reading this, it tells me something. That you care deeply about the health and success of your kids ministry and the leaders who serve there. So many churches underestimate the importance of this work. Thank you for being the kind of leader who sees it.

Here’s what I believe. The best investment you can make in your church over the next twelve months is an investment in your kids ministry.

Think about it.

What do most struggling churches have in common?
A struggling kids ministry.

And what do most thriving churches have in common?
A thriving kids ministry.

That’s no coincidence. Kids ministry is the ultimate driver of growth in a church.

But here’s the tension: kids ministry leaders rarely get the support they really need. The role can feel isolating. They often lack resources. They carry the pressure of shaping the next generation while feeling like they’re on their own. And because kids pastors are notoriously bad at advocating for themselves, many senior leaders don’t realize just how far a little encouragement and investment could go in multiplying their ministry.

That’s where KIDMIN U comes in. It’s a 12-week certification program that gives your kids ministry leader the tools, coaching, and community they need to build something sustainable and healthy — not just for them, but for the entire church.

When you champion their growth, you’re not just supporting a staff member — you’re fueling the long-term health and mission of your church.

Thank you again for caring about this. I’d be honored to partner with you in raising up leaders who build ministries where kids and families thrive.
