In a day where the church is losing the next generation at double the rate of any previous generation, we must take a clear look at what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how we are able to make necessary changes to ensure our church's Children's Ministries are as effective as possible. In this book Lynda Freeman, who has fifty years of experience in Children's Ministry, shares how while one Children's Ministry is not able to be exactly like another, we are all able to be sure we have the right "ingredients" so our own, unique Children's Ministry knows its purpose and vision, is a safe place for children, is able to find volunteers and train them, "teach the whys", as well as how to team up with the parents and grandparents.
In "No Cookie-Cutter Children's Ministries" you will find questions to think through, resources, ideas for supporting and encouraging your volunteers, a complete volunteer training session, help finding your best curriculum "fit", and through them all, Lynda will engage you in activities and thought provoking questions for you to complete with your Children's Ministry leadership team, parents, and grandparents to discover what you need to do to do to ensure your Children's Ministry is truly effective at what matters most - putting together a genuinely effective and engaging Children's Ministry and teaming up with parents/grandparents to hand confident faith to the children you all love.

the little answer book
The truth matters and we need to know the truth. This does not mean we have to be theologians, scientists, philosophers, or apologists, but we do need to find answers. We do need to know the “whys”, so we are able to teach them as part of a firm foundation we set for the ones we love, and so we are able to answer their questions if they have already turned from their faith. This is the purpose for this book – to help you find answers, so you are equipped to hand down confident faith as you teach the “whys” and to help you answer important questions.
