We’re so excited to invite you to our Equip Conference, a special KidMin training event designed to encourage, inspire, and equip you for all areas of children’s ministry! We’re honored to welcome Troy and Brenda Renter as our keynote speakers. They’ll be sharing on “Beyond Behaviors”— helping us to deepen our understanding of children’s actions, especially when trauma or unmet needs may be involved. By learning to shift our perspective and recognize the influences behind behavior, we can better support each child with Christ-like compassion and create a nurturing environment that fosters both personal and spiritual growth.

Conference Schedule:

• 8:30 a.m. – Fellowship & light breakfast

• 9:00–10:30 a.m. – Beyond Behaviors keynote session

• 10:40–11:15 a.m. – Breakout sessions by ministry area for deeper practical training

Our prayer for this time together is found in Hebrews 13:21:

“May God equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.”

Please take a moment to sign up today so we can prepare for you!
