Should Our Church Start a Weekday Ministry?
Weekday Ministries can be a wonderful way to serve families, build relationships in your community, and create opportunities for discipleship - but how do you know it is the right ministry for your church? In this episode, Dr. Val and Dr. Virginia discuss the questions ministry leaders need to ask before starting a Parent's Day Out, Preschool, Before/After School Care, or Christian School.
