Kids Ministry From Anywhere

Kids Ministry From Anywhere is a library of resources to help you reach kids where they are. We can’t afford to wait for the old normal to come back. We can’t afford to wait for our kids to come back to us. We have to actively, urgently, seek out new ways that we can go to them wherever they are. The mission is too important. The gospel is too urgent.
