ACM – Advancing Children in Ministry

What we do

ACM believes that children are gifts from God. We are dedicated to working with churches to create nurturing environments where they can grow in their faith. An integral part of the Christian journey is service in the church. Our Ministry work is designed to inspire, educate, and instill the values of service in church life in the children of the churches we serve.

What we offer our partner churches

Youth Engagement in Church Ministry

We believe that we must offer opportunities for children and youth to serve across the church. It is our responsibility to teach and train the children to be the Christians leading the church.

Enrich the Christian Experience of the Entire Congregation

Jesus tells us that children’s engage in church blesses us all.

Adhering to Biblical Mandates

“Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.” (NRSV) – Intentionally including our children in ministry work enriches and encourages their connection to the faith and their stewardship of the church.

Let's see how ACM can help!

Should your church partner with ACM

Do you have a children's ministry?

Would you like to better integrate the service of the children into the general ministry work of the church? We can work with your ministry leaders, children, and parents to find meaningful ways the children can perform more work outside the Children’s Ministry.

Do you want to build or rebuild a children’s ministry?

We can help. We have seasoned church leaders who would love to help young Christians find how to serve.

Would you like a consultation to help your leadership team analyze your current service options for your Children's Ministry?

We can join your team and, collaboratively, find the best ways to identify your children’s gifts. Then help the children use those gifts to serve the church.

Would your ministries like to find ways to engage your children across the church ministries, beyond children ministry exclusive activities?

We can partner with your church leadership to find ways to include the children in the work typically stewarded by adults.

Do you have young Christians with disabilities that will require consideration to give them the best shot at an opportunity to serve?

We have the expertise to address these needs. We will work with leadership and parents to make sure you are able to support all the children in their efforts to serve.
