Getting Started

Getting Started

This section is dedicated to helping you make a great start where you are. Whether you are creating a new Children’s Ministry, trying to make your current programs be more effective as is, or you’re wanting to launch the Praise Factory curriculum, there’s something to help you here.

We’ve made a series of slideshows to help you along your way. Below each slideshow are some pdfs that will give you even more information. They are all excerpts from the books: From the Ground Up; and, Church-Shaped Children’s Ministry, both by Constance Dever.

These full books are also available to download for free or purchase through amazon.com. Go to Resources Catalog to learn more…
