Breakout Sessions

Beyond Childcare: Building a Gospel-Centered Children’s Ministry

Children’s ministry is more than childcare. It’s a key part of making disciples. Discover how to create a gospel-centered environment where kids experience God’s love and hear truth clearly, and where families are connected to ongoing discipleship. Gain practical ways to equip volunteers, foster a Great Commission culture, and make the most of VBS and summer moments to reach the whole family.

Bringing Faith Home: Equipping Families for Everyday Discipleship

Faith is formed most powerfully at home. Learn simple, practical ways to equip parents as the primary disciple-makers in their child’s life. We’ll explore how to share the gospel clearly with kids, guide next steps without pressure, and help families make faith a natural part of everyday life—right where they are.
