028: Tech-Free Community-Building Ideas
Screens can make kids ministry easier, but when technology becomes the default, it can unintentionally crowd out opportunities for kids to talk, play, create, and build relationships. In this episode of Kids Ministry Answers, we’re talking about how to create kids ministry environments that rely less on screens and create more opportunities for play, creativity, curiosity, and connection. So we asked Tiffany and Jessica from WonderHere to join Linda and Jason to share practical ways to use technology intentionally while building environments where kids have room to wonder, create, build relationships, and grow in their faith.
