    Notes

    Highlands Kids Overview:

    • Elementary (1st-5th), Preschool (Babies-Kinder), Guest Services, Special Needs (accommodation ministry)
    • Small Groups minded
    • Creating environments through the lens of parents (5 values)
      • Easy drop-off
      • Safe and Clean environment (has to “feel” this way, not just “look” this way)
      • Church Ambassadors (bigger picture for volunteers; major connection with families and church enthusiasts)
      • Learning something
      • Picking up a happy child


    Shifts to weekend experience:

    • Creating experiences with short bytes of video, or shorter segments during live services
    • Continuing online experience even though they have gathered
    • Adjusting to an “individual” mindset with each ministry area, rather than preparing things for groups


    How Growth Track supports kid's ministry:

    • Bringing great people onto volunteer teams (Dream Teams)
    • Excitement for kid's as they begin to serve
    • Prompts conversations with families about “growth track” for kids and recognizing their unique purpose
