(It's what you've been looking for!)
Karl Bastian, aka The Kidologist, has been sharing Bright Ideas for Children's Ministry on Kidology.org since 1994. Kidology is still the Internet's largest source of creative ideas. This site is different.
Here you find TRAINING and COACHING on how to be a Creative Children's Ministry leader and teacher. Stick around and explore all that Pastor Karl's Toolbox has to offer!
This is also the home for Kidology Memberships and Store.
Who is this for?
KIDS PASTORS - TEACHERS - HOME SCHOOL PARENTS!
Pastor Karl's Toolbox is Your Secret Sauce for a Creative, Biblical Kid-Friendly Ministry
Imagine having a personal guide to help you master new skills each month that will make you more effective in reaching and teaching kids for Jesus. Teaching, Sharing the Gospel, Planning Outreach Events, Recruiting - or whatever you are wrestling with currently.
Become a Better Leader! I've been doing this for decades, I know the tricks to save you time so you can focus more on the kids. (They are why you do this after all.)
Think you can't do Magic Tricks? or Puppets? or Amazing Object Lessons? Think again! I'll show you step by step how to amaze your kids and your volunteers!
So many apps, so little time. When did ministry become computer time? I'll help you tame tech and make it a friend that saves you time instead of eating it all up.
Imagine having a personal coach you can reach out to when you need to ask a question.
Imagine getting new products on Kidology free before anyone else can even purchase it?
Imagine getting to influence the topics of group coaching calls or new resources that will be created?
When you sign up for the Master Builder Plan you get everything in the TOOLBOX Access membership—plus so much more.
Here is what some of my Toolbox Members have had to say...
"I used to think I couldn't do all that fancy stuff. Now the kids think I'm amazing! Thanks, Pastor Karl!"
"Pastor Karl keeps me motivated to keep trying new things and accountable to keep learning and applying what I learn."
