Starting this week, we’ll begin featuring real kids ministry classrooms on Kids Ministry 101. Send us photos and tell us why you LOVE your classroom and you might get featured on the blog, too!
Today’s post is from Elizabeth Horne, Children’s Minister at Ballardsville Baptist Church in Crestwood, KY.
“This is our Kid’z Zone Children’s Church room where I do the extended session of The Gospel Project with Kindergarten through 2nd grade. This is my favorite room in all of our children’s ministry because everything is so interactive for the kids and brightly colored. They can see the progression of how much they have learned and where we are in our study of the Bible on the timeline map. We post all of the Big Picture questions, teaching pictures, and verses so they can follow each unit. Our kids enjoy having enough room to play the games and interact with each other so we remove all the chairs from the space. I love working with our children and seeing them light up as they learn more of God’s Word.
The Gospel Project has been a blessing to our ministry as it engages our kids in every learning style from audio visual to hands on! Reaching our children with the gospel is a great privilege, and keeping them engaged means keeping them moving through an interactive space that points everything back to the lesson.”
