Last week there were 250 kids at Antioch – just from birth through 5th grade!!
The ratio of kids to adults in the main service is 58%, which is unheard of.
I was so blown away by these numbers and how many kids are at Antioch that I felt this strong burden of responsibility to make sure our kids ministry is the absolute best it can be.
So I went down to see Linda VanVoorst, Antioch’s Children’s Director, and asked, “If you were to come up with a top ten list of what is needed to make the Antioch kids program the absolute best it possibly can be – regardless of money, what would it be?”
Once again I was surprised. Half of Linda’s list didn’t even have a cost associated with it. The other half totaled up to a conservative $15,000.
This whole thing felt so doable and necessary that I shared it with the church this morning.
Here’s Linda’s list for you to see as well. 250 kids… what a great problem to have!
