ALL Children’s Ministries Directors,

·
Are you tired of having your Preschool Ministry looked at as nothing more than a glorified
baby-sitting service?
·
Have you asked yourself the question – “What do I do with the
kids that are too old for the nursery but too young to sit through a full
fledged children’s church service with the big kids?”
·
Are you ready to break out of the mundane "baby-sitting"
approach to preschool ministry that has been used for decades and turn
loose your God-given creativity while leading and teaching others to do
the same?
·
Are you ready to think "outside the box" and let the Lord lead
you in developing a custom approach to early childhood ministry in your
church? One that fits the needs of
your kids AND your volunteers?
·
Are you looking for ways to prevent "worker burn-out" in your Early
Childhood Ministry area?
·
Do you want to make sure that every child has multiple opportunities
during every service to hear, understand, and demonstrate THE BIBLICAL
TRUTH you are trying to get across that day?
Dear Fellow Children’s
Minister,
Now that I have your attention, I want to ask you, How much is the eternal soul of a young child worth?
Suppose you could sit down, lay
out a simple outline for your children’s service, follow it and change
eternity for one child?
Imagine,
one simple, focused service could change eternity for thousands because you
might just have the next D.L. Moody or Billy Graham sitting in your Preschool
Ministry right now!
Now imagine that you were able
to do the same thing each and every week.
I’ll be honest, none of us know what God has
in store for those He places in our ministry.
With that in mind, I ask you, “With all that is at stake, how can you
do anything less than the very best for His kids?”
The answer: You can’t!
And that’s why I believe God has led me to share with you
the tools and techniques I use in my own ministry each and every Sunday with
dynamic results and responses from kids, parents, and volunteers.
My 4 year
old has received many teachings with this method. He came home excited after church asking
me, “How can I stand up for Jesus?”
This was
the weekly lesson and he was able to receive, understand, and desire to put
into practice. I am thankful for a
program that helps fuel and support my child’s spiritual growth.
Sincerely,
A Thankful
Mother
Sachse, Texas
It all started in November of 2003 when I was asked to
coordinate the training of twenty-one volunteers for a major two week
evangelistic outreach our church was doing.
As the event drew closer, my wife and I were asked if we would provide
ministry for the preschoolers during the evening services. We accepted and entered the world of
Preschool Ministry.
By the end of the two weeks, we had completed fourteen
services and had learned a lot. As a result of those two weeks, my approach
and philosophy of Preschool Ministry has forever changed. Those two weeks opened the door to becoming
Preschool Pastor at Sachse Assembly of God.
Now, I want to give you the benefit of all that I have
learned and help you create your own highly effective Preschool Ministry starting today!
As an intelligent individual, you realize the value of
learning from other people’s experiences, both positive and negative. You know the importance of being able to
take a concept and personalize it so that it works for you. You believe it is better to work smarter
than harder and you have no desire to totally reinvent the wheel.
As you get and then study every word of this book, you
will become convinced of three things:
·
God cares for Preschool Kids and wants you to
minister to them
·
Organization and Creativity are vital to
Effective Preschool Ministry
·
You CAN minister
effectively to Preschool Children
Almost anyone could use your ideas
regardless of their experience level in the ministry.

Before I go any further, I would
like to give you an opportunity to understand my philosophy of Preschool
Ministry.
As a Preschool Minister, we get to till the ground
and plant the seeds. There are even times
when we get to water what was planted.
As we are faithful to do what God has called us to do, there are also
times He blesses us with seeing a plant begin to sprout. Then, on a very rare occasion, we actually
get to reap the harvest of a precious young soul that still has years they
can give to Christ.
This philosophy and heartfelt
belief has inspired me to write this book.
I realize I can only minister to a few and I know that the Lord has
definitely blessed my ministry. Please
allow me to share some of what I have learned with you.

CHAPTER 5:
KEEP THAT TRAIN MOVING
One of the biggest secrets to successful Preschool
Ministry is that you have to keep the kids interested in what is
happening. In order to keep them
interested, you have to keep things moving.
Your acceptance of and reaction to this truth will directly determine
the success of your Preschool Ministry.
My Audience?
That’s right, I said audience. In today’s world of Barney, Nick Jr., and The Disney
Channel, you have to be willing and able to compete for kids’
attention. What does that mean? You have to be willing and able to put on a
show for kids. In other words, you have to give them what they want! What a concept! If you don’t give them what they want, they
will “TURN YOU OFF” and escape to their own little world of imagination. Now don’t get me wrong, I understand that
we are working with preschoolers and there will be days when some of them
will “TURN YOU OFF” no matter what you do or how well you do it.
CHAPTER 7:
WHICH CARS WILL YOU PULL TODAY?
The Elements of a Successful Preschool
Worship Service
Now that we understand we need to have a central
theme, or The Power of One, which
runs throughout our day and that we have to Keep Things Moving, let’s take a moment to focus on what makes up
a successful Preschool Worship Service.
The elements that make up a successful Preschool
Worship Service are much the same as the elements that make up an adult
worship service or a successful elementary Children’s Worship Service.
The basic elements are:
· Songs
· Music
· Storytelling
· Bible Stories
· Prayer
· Incidentals
There are also a couple of items that are basic to a
Children’s Worship Service but probably would not be welcomed in the adult
arena. These items are puppets and
crazy characters. In the pages that follow, I will discuss each one of these
elements as it relates to the successful Preschool Worship Service.
CHAPTER
11:
PULLING OUT THE FANCY CARS
The Awesome
Power of Big Events for Preschoolers
More Than Day To Day
We
all know that it is the day to day things that keep us going. They are what give our life consistency,
but we also know that it is the big events or the special occasions, holidays,
anniversaries, weddings, and parties that make life a lot more fun. While many of us consider putting on big
events for elementary age children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged
adults, senior adults, and every other group of people in the church,
sometimes a very special population slips through without being noticed. That group is the preschool group.
CHAPTER 13:
HOW TO PREVENT A TRAIN WRECK PART ONE –
KEEPING THE GOOD GUYS IN
Many Children’s Departments are held together by
construction paper and glue stick. With this in mind, I would like to take
you through a few steps that will help you strengthen your Children’s
Ministry, your Children’s Department, your church, and ultimately the Kingdom of God.
It is not my desire to see any Children’s Ministry fail and anything
that I can offer to avert that is nothing more than “my reasonable act of worship” (Romans 12:1) to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Getting the Good Guys On Board
The truth is, a successful Preschool Ministry is not
and never will be a one man show. You
can think of Preschool Ministry like the faithful crew that keeps the train
rolling down the track. There are
several people that work on the train besides the Engineer or the
Conductor. You have those who take the
tickets, those who work the brakes, and those that provide maintenance to
make sure everything is ready to go.
You also have the hero of days gone by, the one who sits in the
caboose and gives everyone a friendly wave.
It is his responsibility to keep an eye on the train and make sure
everything runs smoothly.
Many Hands
Just like a successful train trip, Preschool
Ministry has many different positions and many different processes that
demand our attention. It requires lots and lots of hands and lots and lots of
volunteers.
OK, So How Much Will This Incredible Resource Cost Me?
If I were to try to put a price on the journey that has
brought me to this point, I could not.
I have spent countless hours in ministry, years in Bible school, hours
providing and attending Children’s Ministry Training sessions, and hundreds
or thousands of dollars on Children’s Ministry resources. There is no way to
put a price on my life, nor is there a way to put a price on the value of one
soul.
That being said, I am offering you the opportunity to
receive this valuable, ministry changing, resource for a total investment of
just $14.95. The lives you will touch
and change as a result of these proven techniques will very easily justify
the meager investment you make.
So why am I practically giving away the tools, techniques,
and truths it has taken me years to learn and put together?
Well, it’s really quite simple. It is my desire to train as many people as
possible to reach and teach the precious young souls in our churches
today. I want to put in your hands the
tools to do this more efficiently and effectively.
I was left with the feeling that you
really were writing the book to improve Children's Ministries and to
ultimately serve God, rather than make a buck.
