  1. One of the biggest challenges in ministry for children’s pastors and leaders is finding enough workers. Without a good staff of teachers and assistants we can’t accomplish all that God has called us to do in our ministry to children. Yet, finding qualified people can be a real challenge. As a children’s director of a large church for 7 years, I saw the need first hand. For our Sunday and weekday programs, we needed approximately 80 to 100 people to staff our children’s areas every week. I remember getting those “Saturday night phone calls” when teachers would call in to say that something had come up and they wouldn’t be able to teach. Usually it was an illness or family emergency. But getting these kinds of calls occasionally (or even weekly) is inevitable, and it’s important for us to be prepared for them. One solution to this on going challenge is to develop a substitute staff of teachers and assistants. In this workshop we’ll discuss how to recruit substitute teachers and workers—and how to can keep them. But first let’s look at the reasons for organizing a substitute staff and the benefits to your children’s department.
