Many children’s ministry leaders talk about the importance of creating child-targeted children’s ministry environments kids enjoy where lessons are taught with a view to each child’s developmental stage.
It’s a good thing for a church’s children’s ministry environment to be bright, playful, kidfriendly, and safe the sort of place where kids will want to go. It’s also important to have adequate signage for new visitors, and if you use check-in technology, it helps to cultivate a good experience for moms and dads when your system is user-friendly and upto-date.

But kid-friendly facilities and activities are merely a first step. It’s also important to open the door for kids and families personally.
Find a few parents who are passionate about your church’s mission and vision. Invite them to stand in the reception area of your children’s ministry each week and encourage them to build relationships with new families. And when you’re recruiting team members to open the front door of your children’s ministry, look for individuals who are gifted at being outgoing and welcoming.
You’re not just looking for warm bodies; you’re looking for warm leaders. Find a way to make these hospitality team members easily identifiable with name tags, lanyards, or t-shirts. That helps to make your children’s ministry environment welcoming. It also helps with the next goal.
There are a variety of reasons for that as we know, but I think it’s a terrible shame that many churches have relinquished the battle for children’s time and energy in favor of other competing activities. I say it’s time to reclaim those precious moments for children’s choir! The long-term (and short-term) gains are more than worth it.
