Many kids' ministry leaders pour their energy into big events—only to wonder, “What happens next?” How do we move beyond one-time gatherings and create lasting relationships that keep families coming back?

In this episode of the Kids Ministry Collective Podcast, we’re diving into simple, stress-free strategies to engage your community beyond the big events. You’ll learn:

✅ The #1 shift that turns guests into connected families ✅ How to engage your community—without adding more to your plate ✅ Practical follow-up ideas to build real relationships after VBS, Easter, or any event ✅ Why small connections matter more than big crowds

Plus, we’re talking about the power of leadership community and why you shouldn’t do ministry alone. If you’re looking for encouragement, fresh ideas, and a place to grow, check out KidminPlus.net—a leadership community built for YOU.
