03 – A Typical Meeting Time
There are so many different ways to achieve the main goal of kids’ ministry, so we generally steer clear of cookie-cut meeting outlines that are the same every week. However, there are four key elements that are important to include each week, even if the ratio of each element varies from week to week.
Check out these four main meeting elements in this video!
