Our "no-bells and a few whistles ministry" is built on relationships: with the leaders, with each other, within our community, and mostly, with God. Our kids are stimulated right down to their souls and are learning and growing together. It's great.

It's not only easy for many chilrdren to accept, but it is also a timeless approach, which is rare in a world that changes so rapidly. A balanced ministry is one that not only has the ability to fit into a changing world, but listens and adapts based on the needs of those involved. I like the idea of balanced ministry.

When we use a multi-dimensional, balanced approach we are more likely to be effective with each child. Whole-child learning is also more engaging and fun...it holds the kids' attention over a longer period of time - increasing the chances of learning. Everyone learns and develops a little differently.
