There’s no shortage of great children’s ministry conferences. But usually they’re too expensive and too far away for your volunteers to experience their power.
Imagine if there was a Kidmin conference that was close enough and affordable enough that you could bring your entire volunteer team. Imagine if that very same conference had many of the same speakers as the other national conferences like Reggie Joiner, Sue Miller or me. Imagine the bonding and growth that your team could experience as you learn how to more effectively embody Christ for the kids in your ministry.
We imagined too. And we crafted the Illuminate Conference because we wanted this dream to be reality. It’s the opportunity for you to make the affordable, powerful investment you’ve wanted in your volunteers.
Thousands of church staff, leaders, and volunteers hungry to experience this same dream will gather in cities all across the United States for this premier children’s ministry event.This is the “volunteer-focused” conference where you’ll hear from internationally-known kidmin leaders who will equip, encourage, and empower your ministry teams. This is the kidmin conference where bringing your entire volunteer team is not only encouraged but actually possible. This is Illuminate.
