Kidmin Training To Go!
Kidmin Training To Go takes training to where you are. This is training for your whole kidmin team. Kidmin Training to go started in 2022. It started as a church membership. It is now free to all churches. We do ask that if you find this training valuable that you would consider a donation to maintain our videos and equipment and to make it possible to bring in great speakers. Kidmin Training To Go is developed by the Wisconsin/N. Michigan Ministries Network kids ministry. Throughout the year, we will provide recorded online training covering a wide range of issues important to developing a vibrant kids ministry in your church. At various times we may provide live open forums to discuss relevant topics in Kidmin
