GSOT Student
We recently hosted a Generation Alpha Conference at which Dr. Janine McNally spoke to parents, grandparents, and children's ministry workers. While she was here, she observed our children's ministry program and provided valuable advice and vision for our Children's Ministry Director. Any senior pastor who wants to reach Generation Alpha -- birth to pre-teens, tomorrow's church leaders! -- should book Dr. McNally. She teaches workers to present a clear and understandable gospel message and gives hands-on advice on creating an exciting and inviting environment for children's ministry to happen.
Highly recommended!
