Hello, my name is David Choate. Two years ago, before overseeing the Sunday School lessons of Sharefaith Kids, I was a Children\u2019s Pastor in Medford, Oregon. Being a Children\u2019s Pastor was one of the most rewarding and challenging seasons of my life. There is nothing as wonderful as sharing the Gospel with kids! Conversely, there was nothing quite as challenging as building, maintaining and equipping a team of committed volunteers. That is why I was so excited to have the opportunity to interview and pick the brain of Janet Christian.<\/p>\n

Janet has been a Children\u2019s Ministry director for 25 years and built a committed volunteer team, many of whom have served consistently for 10-15 years. In this interview, Janet was kind enough to share her wealth of experience, knowledge and perspective. She is passionate about her kids, frank about her challenges, and just plain funny! If you are leading, volunteering, or considering getting involved in Sunday School, I strongly recommend you take a few minutes and watch these videos. You\u2019ll discover a person whose words encourage, convict, and are a great reminder of why we serve.<\/p>\n
In Part 1 of this interview, we covered a range of topics, including how to keep Sunday School exciting, advice for new leaders, and what to look for in a volunteer! Below is a brief summary of some important insights and perspectives Janet shared:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
