Learn how to build a high-impact kids ministry without burning out.

Fast track your growth as a kids ministry leader.

 KIDMIN U is a 3-month certification program that equips kids ministry leaders like you with the tools, training, and confidence to build thriving ministries — without burning out.

 You were called to lead — not just survive.

Leading kids ministry is rewarding, but let’s be honest — it can also feel overwhelming.

  • Volunteers aren’t showing up consistently.

  • Parents expect more than just childcare.

  • Sunday comes every week whether you’re ready or not.

  • You rarely have time to invest in your own leadership.

It’s exhausting. And you don’t have to keep leading this way.

That’s why we created KIDMIN U.

I’m Jeremy O’Neill. After 14 years of building and leading kids ministries, I know firsthand how heavy the responsibility feels — and how often leaders are asked to figure it out alone.

I created KIDMIN U to give you the roadmap I wish I had when I started: practical training, ongoing support, and a community of leaders who actually understand what you’re facing.

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?

And what do most thriving churches have in common?

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.

P.S. Stewardship is a big deal in ministry, and it’s our job to make every dollar count. You can spend thousands of dollars upgrading things like AV equipment that may or may not produce lasting impact. Or you can invest a tenth of that into your kids ministry and see ten times the results. The bottom line is, you can never go wrong investing in the next generation.

Imagine your ministry three months from now.

You have a team of volunteers you can count on.

Parents are excited about what their kids are learning.

Your senior pastor trusts your leadership and sees your ministry thriving.

You have clarity, systems, and confidence instead of stress and scrambling.

This is the kind of transformation KIDMIN U was built to create.

Don’t stay stuck in survival mode.

Keep trying to do it all on your own, and you’ll keep chasing volunteers, burning out, and wondering if you’re really making a difference.

But when you have the right tools, community, and coaching—you can thrive as a leader and build a ministry that lasts.
