ABOUT IMPACT!

We believe children’s ministers make an eternal impact on the lives of children they serve. That’s why we have developed the IMPACT! training series. This training series identities 10 competencies of an effective children’s minister and provides a course for each competency. The courses includes video instruction and pre- and post-assignements that provide practical instruction and hands-on learning activities for each competency.

The IMPACT! training is available through DVD instruction as well as online.
