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.

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!
