CFTROU 0207: Leading Preschool Kids Worship | Preschool

Today’s topic of conversation centers around preschool worship, what we refer to as Heartland at Family Church, and is something that’s near and dear to Pastor Jimmy’s heart! We are fortunate to have the masterminds of Heartland joining us on the show today, Zack Rickards and Janelle Bannister. Join us as we dive into a typical morning at Heartland! Janelle breaks down the Gospel Project curriculum and we explain the what and why of preschool worship. We also share what our team’s work week looks like in preparation for Sundays, express the pivotal role of volunteers in making Heartland happen, and delve into our use, production, and the behind-the-scenes of our Heartland videos.
