You can listen to or watch Gateway Podcast Episode 86 here.
This week we have two special guests: Keri Harpst and our very own Kidway Director, Becca Green.
Questions:
First time podcast guest! Keri, tell us a little bit about yourself (family, how long at Gateway, Life Group, where you serve, etc.) (1:30)
You (Keri) are spearheading a kids’ program at Gateway this fall called Kingdom Kids. Tell us a little bit about what that is and who it is for. (2:55)
What made you want to see something like this come back to Gateway? (4:15)
If someone listening wants to know how to be involved in Kingdom Kids, what should they do? (4:45)
Kingdom Kids is what we refer to as a Catalyzed ministry - meaning it is something that is staff supported, but member led, not staff led. Becca - can you explain a little bit more about what we mean by that? (7:40)
Keri, you had an idea for a catalyzed ministry. Can you walk us through the steps you took to meet with staff and start seeing your idea take shape? (11:40)
Becca, from a staff perspective, what did the ministry catalyzation process look like for you? (16:05)
What would you (either of you) say to someone listening who may have a ministry idea but doesn’t know where to start? (19:10)
Final Thought (22:05)
