Quick takeaways
- One common mistake churches make in their kids' ministry strategy is that it can end up competing with adult ministries for volunteers and resources, so it's important to shift the perspective from competition to collaboration and intentionally invite adult volunteers to serve in kids' ministry.
- Another common mistake in kids' ministry is when leaders become overly focused on curriculum development at the expense of building and leading effective ministry, so it's crucial to prioritize equipping and training volunteer leaders and developing meaningful relationships with parents.

Competition between Kids Ministry and Adult Ministries
One common mistake churches make in their kids' ministry strategy is that it can end up competing with adult ministries for volunteers and resources. This happens when kids' ministry activities are scheduled at the same time as adult Sunday school classes or other midweek events. To overcome this challenge, it is important to shift the perspective from competition to collaboration, recognizing that each ministry area has a unique calling and gifts to offer. By intentionally carving out time to build connections with adult volunteers and inviting them to serve in kids' ministry, churches can create a more unified approach to ministry and ensure that both kids and adults are effectively engaged.
