Seven Ideas To Start A Childrens Ministry

By Eliza Mendoza


Helping someone find hope in life is one of the biggest achievements you can ever make in this life. However, offering a helping hand is not easy at all, a more reason why you need to take your time before you can get down to thinking about it. The same applies to starting a childrens ministry, as there are things you must think about before you get started.

Take time to diagnose yourself, see if it is just a mere feeling you have or an actual calling to serve. One of the most important questions to ask yourself is about the number of times you have interacted with a child who is not your own. If you have been in a position to come together with several kids on a regular basis in church or in the street ministries, feel free to move with the plan.

Know the reasons why you have made up your decision on starting such a big mission. Talk to several people, who can help you evaluate your reasons to see if they are valid and valuable or just ordinary. Again, talk to your family members to see if they are for the idea or not and if they are in, they may be able to offer a helping hand in one way or another.

You need to know the number of kids you can put under your care and offer support. Again, think about whether you are going to provide them a home or you are just going to pay them a visit in their respective places. Do not start with a large number at a go. Start with the least value possible and then increase the number later on.

One of the most important blocks in the whole of this establishment is funds and you therefore need to know the exact source from which money will come. Write a perfect proposal and approach the church with it. Tell members in the congregation, through your pastor, what you intend to start and that you will need regular support to help kids out there find a hope for tomorrow. Look for sponsors and if you are good enough at talking to people, you will end up with donors.

What you intend to start should solely be for the purpose you have started it. Some charity organizations are reported vile, corrupt and greedy because they have turned their mission from helping children build their future to using them to earn money for their own satisfaction. If you are going to help, make sure you help and if you have some other plans, stop and look for something else that suits your desires.

It is not always going to be easy, but then if you learn to see the future the journey will always be smooth for you. If you have been helped before by a charity organization, then you already know how important it is to give back to the society. When you help others, hoping that they succeed, they definitely will.

If you want to run a successful childrens ministry, you must have a permit from the government. This is a just a way to make sure that you are doing something legal in the sense that the state authority recognizes it. However, seek guidance before starting anything.
