IDEAS,
STRATEGIES &
SOLUTIONS FOR KIDMIN
For nearly 10 years, childrensministryonline.com has been a place to encourage, equip and inspire those who minister to kids. CMO began as the personal ministry blog of Kenny Conley, a place for ideas inspired by ministry in the local church. From this humble blog came nearly two thousand personally written posts, dozens of resources and the beginnings of the Illuminate Conference (now known as Live to Serve), an event designed specifically for kidmin volunteers.
childrensministryonline.com has been an amazing community of leaders dedicated to seeing ministry to kids become the best it could be. Gone are the days when the only options to learn came from books, magazines and conferences. Today, we learn and grow from so much more. Streaming videos, tweets, facebook communities, and insightful blog posts provide information 24 hours a day. Never has it been so exciting to be on the front lines of ministry and childrensministryonline.com is simply one part of this ongoing conversation, offering new ideas and reacting to what others have to say. Please read, observe and consume resources, but also join in on the conversation – the community is better with your side of the conversation.
