Breakouts

Showing kids God’s love is what we are all about, but at what age do we start teaching salvation, how often should we teach it and how do we include parents? These questions and many more will be answered in this extremely important breakout that will revolutionize your ministry’s salvation process.

Join the FC Kids staff for an in depth look at how to organize, lovingly discipline and teach kids of all ages. From maintaining control in a preschool classroom, to capturing the attention of a group of fifth graders, this breakout will give you the tools you need to thrive as a teacher.

Volunteers are a key component to creating a consistent and successful ministry.  In this breakout, hear from our volunteer experts about their strategies and methods for getting and keeping volunteers.

The FC Kids Volunteer Coordinators walk through the three step process that has revolutionized training for FC Kids volunteers. The staff will also discuss strategies for leading, confronting and developing volunteers. This breakout will equip you to recruit, train and lead a strong volunteer team.

A good ministry starts in the hands of a strong leader - a great ministry transfers from the hands of a leader to the hands of a great team. For many leaders, that team is a group of volunteers who empower the ministry. Learn tools and techniques for using your volunteer team as your staff and growing your ministry through team work.

No matter what kind of leader you are, you are a follower too. This breakout will provide insight on how to be a good follower and how being a good follower makes you a great leader and much more.

Want to be a fly on the wall for an FC Kids staff meeting? This breakout takes you behind the scenes into the conversations FC Kids leaders are having.

From VBS to Lock-Ins, from camps to father/son outings, events are a huge part of children’s ministry; and, when done well, can be a major outreach/inreach tool. In this breakout, you’ll learn the strategies and methods that FC Kids uses to make events an effective part of ministry.

Whatever the size of your church, people will always be the key ingredient. In this informative breakout, the FC Kids staff will share tips and tools to keep the people in your ministry encouraged, connected and cared for.

Music is one of the cornerstones of children’s ministry. It will never be the most important thing, but when music is used poorly, it becomes a flaw. This breakout will show you how to use music to support and enhance your service and amplify your message.

Las Vegas has nothing to say and all the best ways to say it. The Church has the most important message in the world but often doesn’t know how to say it! What does your environment say about your church? Is it creative, excellent, fun, kid friendly, informative? If not don’t worry! This breakout will teach you the ins and outs of creating an environment that fits your budget and speak volumes about your ministry.
