Keep Up-To-Date
The primary method of communication from the Conference Children’s Ministries team to children leaders this year will be through email. This is the fastest and most effective way to get out information. If you have not given your email, please contact the Conference Office and pass it on.
Please also let us know if someone else is now Children’s Ministries Leader. Some churches do not send through changes in leadership positions and it would help in staying connected with local churches if you could send through this information.
