186: Planning Your KidMin Year | with Lauren Jackson
Jul 22, 2025
Laurie Graham

What if you could enter the next ministry year with clarity, unity, and a plan that actually fits your church? 

In this episode, I talk with Lauren Jackson from Kids Ministry Circle about how churches of any size can create a meaningful, intentional KidMin plan—and why July is the perfect time to start. 

Whether you're leading solo or working with a team, this conversation will give you practical ideas and a whole lot of encouragement.

In this episode, you'll hear:

1. Why summer is the ideal time to plan your KidMin year
2. How to invite Jesus into your planning process
3. Key conversations to have with your pastor and team
4. What planning looks like in small church contexts
5. Encouragement for leaders who feel overwhelmed or under-resourced
