Keeping Connected During the period when COVID-19 restrictions were in place, the work of children’s ministry leaders was made especially difficult. Unable to meet with children in person, the children’s pastors were pushed to become more creative than in the past in order to reach youngsters via virtual means. For those who take part in CONNECT Children’s Ministry, a program of Lancaster Bible College (LBC), a resource to help inspire innovations was already in place. CONNECT, which has been bringing together children’s ministry leaders for the purposes of networking, brainstorming, and fellowship for several years, was created by Deb Hinkel, former director of the Children and Family Ministries at LBC.
