Children’s Ministry Curriculum, Ideas Anyone?

October 13, 2009 – 2:47 pm | 14 Comments | 208 views

Hi Ladies,

Melissa has a question about children’s curriculum.  Any suggestions?

Hello Church Planting Wives! Greeting from sunny (and hot) South Florida! My husband (Jon) and I are preparing to plant/launch our new church in January 2010! We are very excited and are working hard to prepare to serve our community and bring the Gospel to those who are in spiritual darkness. I would love to get some feedback from other church planting wives on what type of Children’s Ministry curriculum your churches are using (or used in the beginning stages of your church plants). We have a few in mind that might meet our needs in the beginning but just thought I would ask around! Thanks for taking the time to respond…I would be grateful to hear your thoughts! Captured by the Cross, Melissa *Elswick
