Kids and church. It's often not a good combination. For a lot of kids, if given the choice, they'd willingly eat a second helping of Brussels sprouts before agreeing to go to church! Would it take a transformation of your Sunday school program for kids to actually enjoy going to church?
Welcome to Promiseland. Each weekend, thousands of kids can't wait to get to Promiseland, the children's ministry of Willow Creek Community Church.
With a commitment to partner with parents to help kids begin and develop a relationship with Christ, Promiseland has discovered you can actually mix church and fun! Lively music and dramas, large-group teaching, small group conversations and relationships, and much more help make Promiseland a weekly highlight for kids.
A little different from your church? It doesn't have to be. Gather with your children's ministry team for a 3 1/2 hour satellite seminar hosted by Promiseland staff members - and build a ministry development day for your team around this information-packed seminar.
In this live training, you will:
- Learn the six core values that guide the ministry.
- Experience a typical hour of Promiseland.
- Discover how you can utilize every minute you spend with the children in your ministry.
- Be challenged to make your children's ministry the highlight of kids' weeks.
In addition, the Promiseland team will provide you with pre- and post-seminar training activities. This makes for a great day of visioning and development for your entire children's ministry team.
If it's time for you to transform your Sunday school, then get ready to be part of this special interactive children's ministry development seminar from CCN. And you might even have some fun!
