I've been a huge fan of Children's Ministry Magazine from Group Publishing for years. They fill it with very practical stuff to help you in whatever ministry capacity you're in. The monthly newsletter, Children's Ministry Professional Edition takes it up a few notches. It's designed as a resource that goes way beyond teaching you how to make "Happy Birthday, Jesus" cookies.
Answers to real questions like:
How do I handle conflict with another staff member?
What's the best way to start my search for a new church staff position?
I'm not great with finances, so how should I best handle my church budget?

You can check out the details here. If you're a current subscriber, let us know how the newsletter has done for you.

I know from experience that children's ministry is often seen as a "lower-level" staff position. But many church members don't understand the level of professionalism, in so many areas, that the position demands. If you're looking for advice, ideas, or help, try the newsletter. Group even has a free downloadable sample available.
