Breakout Notes And Presentations

Meet Gen Z

Current children and teens are Gen Z. While we want to reach and encourage this generation, it is easy for us to be ineffective in our communication and teaching. Our goal is to see them led to Christ and grow in Him while connecting with the local church. How do we connect and understand Gen Z? Come to this session to learn about this pivotal generation and how to reach them with Truth.

Powerful Prayers of Little Giants

Our kids are growing up in a culture where they are surrounded by secular worldview and voices from every direction speaking into their lives. As children’s leaders it is essential we lead our kids to help them develop a lifestyle of praying about everything. This workshop has two related goals: to provide children prayer tools to stand strong in their faith and develop kids who understand why prayer is essential in Jesus being their best friend.
