Kidmin, the abbreviated version of "Kids' Ministries"
is the result of God-given burdens from conversations with children's ministries leaders and workers.
There is a rising trend in Singapore
of pre-believing parents dropping their kids off at church on Sunday mornings because they believe that Christian values are useful for their children to learn and emulate.
Increasingly, kidmin workers tangibly see
the importance of partnership with parents, as they work out what it means for them to be the primary spiritual caregivers for their children.
Kidmin IS church.
Kidmin isn't just a subset or sub-ministry of church. It’s not a place to keep children occupied, while the service goes on.
With how God has moved hearts mightily,
Kidmin came about in 4 Nov 2023 beginning with a Kidmin equipping workshop, giving kidmin leaders and volunteers practical handles for their churches.
