One is that folks think that it's simply child care. Which is really dangerous. That affects your volunteer recruitment because people don't want to sign up for babysitting. Let's face it. So if that is a misconception in your church that children's ministry is child care, you're going to struggle in recruiting volunteers. Another misconception is that children's ministry is simply outsourced discipleship to the church. That can be even more dangerous because if parents think that as long as they get their kids to your children's ministry, then they can check that box of their children being discipled. And we know that that's not even scriptural. That the call to the parent is to be the primary discipler and the church should partner alongside with them in that effort. Another common misconception for the leader, for the kid's ministry leader, is that you're working with kids all the time. And that is simply just not true. Like it or not, you're working more with adults than you are kids. And that's okay because what you're doing is empowering them and enabling them and training them to effectively work with children as they share the gospel with them.
