Check out this article:
Do you ever feel like the kids in your ministry aren't growing spiritually? It might be due to one or more of these reasons.
You aren't hitting their learning style. There are 7 learning styles. If you're only using one or two, then you are alienating many kids in your ministry.
You're not teaching life application. Information alone doesn't lead to spiritual growth. Just because you fill kid's heads with Bible facts doesn't mean they will grow in their faith. Kids must be challenged not only be hearers of the Word, but doers as well.
You're not providing them with simple steps. How are you moving kids toward spiritual maturity? What steps do you have in place that can create forward spiritual motion in a child's life. Think steps...not programs.
Your curriculum isn't laid out with the end in mind. Who do you want kids to be when they leave your ministry? What do you want them to know? How do you want them to act? Your curriculum should be a pathway that leads to those goals.
You're not engaging and equipping parents. We know what happens at home has the most influence in a child's spiritual life. If you're not engaging and equipping parents to lead their child spiritually, then the child's spiritual growth will be hindered.
So what do you guys think??? What areas can we or you do better on?
