Children’s Ministry and Culture

Observing the ideas and trends that shape children’s ministry

Strengths Based Children’s Ministry Leadership

with one comment

I’ve “remixed” the content of Lead the Way God Made You for the Conspire Conference at Willowcreek in two weeks. I’m presenting one of the book club sessions. There’s were two mistakes that I wanted to avoid. First, I don’t want to bore those who already read the book. Second, I don’t want to assume that everyone in the room will have finished reading in time for the session.

As I began to reorganize the content, I realized that one of the unique features of Lead the Way God Made You is that it’s the only children’s ministry leadership book that falls within the strength’s based leadership movement. So, I’ll be present on the challenges of building a strength based children’s ministry culture.

Here are the four challenges:

1) Killing (the Myth) of the Perfect Leader

2) Discovering Your Own Strengths

3) Helping Your Team Members Discover their Strenghs

4) Bending and Building your Teams.

There’s still time to register for the Conspire Conference at www.conspireconference.com. We’ll see you there.

  1. Hi, I would love for you to have a look at my book, Your Child’s Strengths, Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them, with a forward by Marcus Buckingham. I speak for no charge. I will be on FamilyNet in two weeks. I have a message for change and create youth curriculum and programs for all kinds of groups. I hope you check out my website at http://www.strengthsmovement.com and I hope you help me spread the word about my book’s message. Jenifer Fox
