Being a Children’s Pastor is so much fun! It’s also one of the more misunderstood roles in the church. Here are 7 mis-perceptions about this role that I’ve come across and bring a smile to my face – add yours in the comments.
-
That we only work on Sundays.
-
That it must be a great job because we spend all our time with kids.
-
That we really are offering free childcare – program is great but the most important thing is keeping kids occupied while real ministry happens with adults.
-
That we’re doing KidMin just until a “real” job opens up in the church.
-
That we must love it when Pastor goes long in the service because it gives us even more time with the kids.
-
That Children’s Ministry is pretty easy – after all, it’s just kids, right?
-
That it’s really OK to drop off kids with dirty diapers & snotty noses in the nursery.
