Here’s 10 tips from 22 years of asking questions, making mistakes, observing, and grappling in Children’s Ministry. Hope they help.
- Who you are is more important than what you do.
- Make people skills one of your priority growth areas.
- People don’t follow a title…they follow someone they love and respect.
- There will always be someone who is not happy with your decision…accept it and don’t try to appease everyone.
- It’s not what you can do, it’s what you can empower others to do.
- Learn from everyone…everywhere…everyday.
