Ignite 2019 |Children's Leadership Conference
A children’s ministry leadership conference that will challenge you, refresh your energy, strengthen your ministry, and equip you for sustained ministry. Join other children’s ministry leaders who are just as passionate as you are about the spiritual formation of kids and families. You won’t want to miss this ministry-changing opportunity to exchange ideas with leading children’s ministers on philosophy, theology, practice.
Create
We are each individually created by a creative God to bring our passions and skills to ministry. Let your creativity come alive!
Discover
Give your ministry a boost with a renewed why or how. Discover innovative ideas and a fresh perspective to give your ministry new life.
Explore
Explore practical ministry applications, theology, and Scripture. Challenge yourself and your colleagues to think in new ways.
Connect
There is strength and growth when you are able to find a support team, a network of ministers who understand and care about your success.
This conference was created by children's ministry practitioners who get you. Ignite has professional speakers and workshop and all the same quality of larger children's ministry conferences, but with more opportunities to connect with presenters and fellow attenders. We want to know you and hang out with you. We're your people. Come to Ignite and feel like you're coming home.
We speak to the practical, the philosophical, and the theological. Each year we see ministry students who have never held a position in a church as well as veteran children's pastors with more than 40 years of service. We also welcome several children's ministry volunteers every year. Sunday school teachers, camp directors, VBS coordinators—this is for all of us!
