  • I loved my experience in the Kids Ministry Circle Cohort. No matter if the conversation was with a leader at a church across the country or right down the street from me, I benefited from knowing the leaders in my group. Each week, I walked away with practical tools that has helped form and shape my ministry for the better.

  • I'm very grateful I found Kids Ministry Circle and joined a cohort! I learned a lot of helpful information from my fellow cohorts and Lauren. The most valuable thing I learned was there is no one way to do this thing called Kids Ministry and you are never alone! God is always with you and so are His children if you just reach out.

  • Getting to connect with other leaders in children's ministry each week was priceless for me! The topics were so valuable, the conversations around them helped me grow. The one-on-one with Lauren was amazing! It felt like I was talking with a friend in ministry, but at the same time she gave me such wisdom and challenged me in areas I really needed. Everyone in ministry should experience this!

  • The Kids Ministry Cohort helped me think through and get started on so many things that I wasn't real sure how to get off the ground. I went into the Cohort needing to build a leadership team and now have one in place, I had questions around the structure and age groups of classrooms and left feeling more confident with what we have in place, and I left with a list of next steps for many other areas that I didn't have when we started.
