Leader of Leaders Children’s ministry. Big events. Children’s workers’ training conferences. Ministry consulting. Leadership training. Christian school. The common factor?

As
a consultant, trainer, speaker, coach and mentor, Jim brings to the table
over thirty years of experience in both children’s ministry and various
other positions in the local church. For the past seventeen years, he has
led one of America’s largest children’s ministries at Church On The Move
in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And now he is ready to take what he has learned to
build strong leaders in the local church across the country and around the
world. 
When
ministries resource Jim’s experience, they have a unique opportunity to
skip the sometimes costly mistakes and get on the fast track to success.
With Jim as a part of your team, each ministry can tap into the ultimate
“been there, done that” knowledge base of what works and what does not.
Jim’s consulting also saves ministries the excess “petty cash” spent
testing big event ideas that (might) work and resources that (hopefully)
will make their ministry the most effective, and focuses the cash flow
into what is guaranteed to reach the most children for Christ.
