Are You Ready? They’re Here! Ministering to Gen Alpha
Unlike previous generations, today’s generations are defined by historical events and technological advances rather than what is happening biologically. Where once childhood transitioned straight to adulthood and then split into the teenage years, the 21st century has seen a delay in this transition. Today tweens, then teens, then KIPPERS, and finally, adulthood follows childhood. As Gen Alpha faces new and unprecedented challenges, the church must be prepared to step up the plate to shape their faith journey using the same timeless Biblical truths but by engaging in new approaches. Find out what the characteristic markers are of Gen Alpha and discover innovative ways to minister to them based on these markers.

You will also learn what to do to take advantage of unique opportunities presented at every age and stage of development. Content includes brain development, the role people and environments play in a child's self-awareness, adjustment, human development, and identity.
Select workshops for one or multiple age groups: Nursery, Toddlers, Preschoolers, Elementary-age kids, Middle Schoolers, or High schoolers.
Making the Most of Learning Styles.
(Offered as a parenting or volunteer training class - Live or Zoom)
Each learning style has a unique way to take in, process, understanding, and remember information. This impacts how we learn, teach, parent, and lead. Learning style differences can create confusion, frustration, and obstacles in relationships as well as learning. This workshop will help you understand how each style receives information and uses it. Attendees will take a simple inventory assessment to discover their own learning style as well as learn how to efficiently learn, work, parent, and save time. Learning style workshops are offered based on the target audience. Options include Couples, parents, leaders, school teachers, Sunday School teachers, small group leaders, staff, and volunteer teams.
Faith Growth Begins in the Nursery.
Most times, ministry to this age group is marginalized. But nursery staff are valued construction workers who lay a solid spiritual foundation. Nursery ministry is more than rocking, changing, and feeding, it’s about laying a strong foundation of love and faith so parents and the church can build on it for future spiritual success. In this session, you’ll gain insights into what naturally happens in a child’s first two years to craft a ministry that’s more relevant. What we do as well as what we don’t do with babies impacts future spiritual development. You will receive practical tools to deal with separation anxiety, how to partner and support parents as well as insight into six things babies need, based on brain development. The workshop can be tailored for parents, nursery volunteers, childcare workers, and MOPS.
