Ideas for a Kids' Ministry
Children are central parts of the church. They can have their own ministries within the church and reach out to other children and to fellow church members. Children's ministries are effective ways to keep them involved in the church and have them learn biblical lessons.

End of Year Concert

The children' choir is a popular form of ministry for young parishioners. At the end of the year, the choir can sing carols and put on a nativity concert. The concert can be held in the church itself and be open to the public.
Community Performances
-
The children's choir can also visit various community sites to perform. For example, the choir can visit sick at hospitals, senior centers and other locations.

Arts of Crafts
-
Young children can learn biblical lessons by creating various arts and crafts. For example, children can draw figures from a nativity scene, including the baby Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. They can then explain the significance of these figures to other children in small skits.
Vacation Bible School
-
Children have several vacations every academic year, including during the summer months. This is a great time to have a vacation Bible school, which is an extension of weekly Sunday school sessions. Because you have more time during these sessions, children can read lessons, perform skits and sing songs.
