“What Matters Now in Children’s Ministry?”
That was the epic question before them. The team (Amy Dolan of Lemon Lime Kids, Henry Zonio of Elemental Children’s Ministry, and Matt Guevara of the
What Matters most?
Cory Center) have gathered 33 perspectives from a cross section of denominations and ministry contexts to answer this question. Every contributor was asked to answer the question with only ONE word (a couple of contributors were given some grace and allowed two words). After they honed the one-word answer, they were allowed to support their answer with another 300 words. Not an easy task.
Our own Liz Perraud is one of the contributors for his project. So I invite you to take a look at this free ebook “What Matters Now in Children’s Ministry” which was published by IMAGO. A printed version will be available sometime in June.

liz – i love your chapter on “community.” i especially love this sentence, “when children trust and commit to people whom they can see then they can begin to trust and commit to god whom they can’t see.” fantastic! so glad you were a part of this project -
Liz, Thank you for being a part of this project and elevating the theme of community. I agree that kids need to be connected to the greater community of Christ followers around them in order to grow.
Aw gee…thanks Amy and Henry! It was a challenging and fun (and IMPORTANT) project to be a part of! Thank you for asking me.
I’m with Amy on this one. The quote she points out is one of the one’s that I felt really defines children’s ministry. It’s about relationship and community. Thanks for your insights!
Thanks Wayne! And I’m looking forward to hear what you have to say about “Worldview” and children’s ministry!
I am already hearing from folks that they are going to use this resource as a study and conversation piece for their children’s ministry teams.
