EP 44: Coordinating Childcare for Your Bible Study and Women's Ministry Events
Our discipleship series continues today with a discussion on coordinating childcare.
I’ve got a few ideas to help you with common childcare struggles including recruiting help and paying for childcare.
Is there going to be childcare? It’s a question I wish we could always answer with a resounding “yes!” However, if you’ve ever been tasked with coordinating childcare for your women’s Bible study or women’s ministry events, you know just how much work is required behind the scenes to provide childcare.
Maybe you’ve encountered some of these childcare issues:
- Not enough volunteers (or paid staff) to cover every event.
- Most of your volunteers are women, so when they serve they miss the event.
- Your budget limits the number of times you can offer childcare.
- There aren’t enough trained workers (with background checks) to serve at all of your events.
Offering childcare can be complicated, but it’s a necessity for many of the women in your church - without it, they may not be able to attend your Bible study or event.
Listen in or read the show notes for solutions to your childcare struggles.
