Episode Notes

HIGHLIGHTS

Church Metrics

• Most metrics begin with “total attendance” (how many kids you have each weekend)
• Comparative numbers (month over month, year over year, event over event)
• Age/demographic-specific metrics (gender/grade level)
• Milestones (saved, baptized, other faith steps, serving)
• Visitors

Behavior Management in kids ministry

• General but specific rules (expected behaviors)
• Consequences:
  • Warning (verbal acknowledgment)
  • Move to another location (remove the distraction)
  • Moved from everyone and parents/families are told
• Involve high-capacity leaders in this redirection and discipline
