Summary

There is a growing number of local church laypeople entering children's ministry leadership. While this is helpful for furthering the Kingdom, these leaders face a huge learning curve-there are few resources available in the Wesleyan tradition for children's ministry leadership.Best Practices for Children's Ministry seeks to answer this need. With insight and understanding of the children's ministry world, author Andrew Ervin provides leaders with the tips, strategies, and skills they need to develop a strong and successful children's ministry.Times have changed. No longer does programming alone satisfy as the summation of children s ministry. No, the role of the children's ministry leader is far more complex. With Best Practices for Children's Ministry, leaders will find the answers and solutions they need to better practice children's ministry.

He has attained a MA in Religion from Northwest Nazarene University and a BS in Elementary Education from Eastern Nazarene College.
