Hi! I am 1 year into my role as Kids Coordinator at my church and I just had my first application come in to serve in kids ministry who is not a believer. They believe a lot of the core beliefs of the faith and have a strong desire to raise their children in the faith. She says that she just isn't quite there yet when it comes to her faith but she desires to. Our pastor just did a sermon on serving and she said she has a better understanding of serving and wants to use her love for kids to serve in kids. Have others encountered this? How did you navigate it?

Last week in our Kids Ministry Circle Roundtable call, we talked about rhythms around volunteer training. Fall is around the corner and you may be working through your 2026-2027 Volunteer training calendar. So, let's take a poll! How often do you train your volunteers? Bonus question to answer in the chat...are your rhythms working? PS: If you are a member in the Kids Ministry Circle Roundtable, I just dropped a deep dive video explaining my 4-part Volunteer Training Strategy into your specific classroom!
