Children and Family Ministries
As the Baugh Center for Baptist Leadership continues to focus on lay leadership in local congregations, we began an initiative specifically for leaders in children’s and family ministries. We recognize the number of people involved in these ministries and the expertise needed to effectively minister to young people with care. This initiative seeks to provide resources and training opportunities for all those engaged in this vital ministry.
Children’s Leaders’ Continued Learning
These new courses are designed for lay leaders who serve as the director or other positions of leadership within children’s ministry for their church, but for whom seminary is not the right fit. These courses seek to bridge the gap between the expertise and experience these leaders bring from their own background and professional life, and the particular skills and topics in children’s ministry.

Children in Church Podcast
Children in Church is limited series podcast for the lay-leaders of children’s ministry. For every Sunday School teacher, choir leader, VBS volunteer, and anyone else who works with children in church. Each will feature a conversation on a different topic to directly help you minister to families in your community.

Sunday School Curriculum Review
The Baugh Center knows that curriculum is a vital piece of teaching within in children’s ministry, and that the market can be overwhelming. We have gathered curricula from a number of publishers and offer a comparison of these offerings. Rev. Harrison Litzell is also available for conversations on curricula and what best suits your congregation!
