Description

Kids' ministry burns out leaders faster than most church roles, and the trend is spiking. Sandy Galea shares her real-life struggle as a children's ministry director, as well as her observations as someone who oversees many people who work in this area. Why does it happen?

• The mismatch of expectations and the actual job description of a kids' minister
• The mismatch of the resources needed (especially time) and the actual resources needed to run a ministry
• The danger of not seeing kids' ministry as a legitimate ministry and career for those who work in it
• The importance of discipling the discipler of kids in your ministry

Sandy Galea is the direction of Kidswise, a ministry that seeks to support local churches in the discipleship of kids.
