Preschool ministry. It isn’t for the faint of heart.
Is it us, or is this one of the most DIFFICULT ministries in the church?
No other ministry requires:
And yet, the preschool ministry remains one of the most IMPORTANT ministries of the church.
Preschool is more than diapers and goldfish. It’s greater than crafts and silly songs.
What happens in often tucked away corners of the church is something significant that often won’t show it impacts for a decade or more. Studies say that more than 80% of evangelical believers choose to follow Jesus between the ages of 4 and 14. We believe that what happens in the preschool age lays a solid foundation for authentic and life-giving faith.
This is why preschool matters so much.
Because so much is riding on this small window of time, leadership matters. Creativity matters. Innovation matters.
