FALL 2015
EVERY KID WILL GROW UP AND MISS OUT ON SOMETHING.
Maybe they wont get to experience . . . the joy of sharing a bedroom with a sibling.the taste of a Nutella sandwich.the excitement of seeing Elsa at Disney World.
What we hope kids wont miss out on isexperiencing Gods unconditional love and forgiveness.
When it comes to children and youth ministries, too often . . .
Parents dont get what the church is trying to do.Staff dont get each other.Volunteers dont get the value of their role.And too many kids get lost in transitions.
But every PHASE of a kids life has distinctive opportunities we can leverage to influence a kids future. When churches become intentional about understandingand leveraging whats actually happening in every phaseof a kids life, it changes how they . . .
Partner with families at critical transitionsTeach comprehensively from preschool through collegeTrain leaders how to work with specific age groupsImprove dialogue and cooperation between ministriesResource parents to interact with kids in the home.
WHAT YOU DO EVERY WEEK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GIVE EVERY KID
A BETTER FUTURE.
Join us this year at Orange Tour and discover how you and your team can make the most of every Phase so kids wont
grow up and miss what matters most.
