Creatively Solving Facility Limitations: Children's Ministry

Children's ministries often experience rapid change while finding themselves inhibited by a static facility. If your ministry is growing or you're changing your model of teaching, and you're experiencing space limitations, a dose of creative thinking may be your best immediate answer. Get a copy of your space's floor plan or blueprint to explore some creative ways to move your ministry forward without letting your building stop you.
