BTI FAMILY FUN SERVICES

Larry Hipps has been preaching and teaching in a variety of settings for decades—but did you know he’s been leading Family Services for years?

Think of it as a super-sized children’s church designed for the whole family to enjoy together.

These services often take place during your regular worship times, but they can also be part of a special event.

EXAMPLE:

In Pryor, OK, Pryor Creek Baptist Church recently replaced their traditional Vacation Bible School with a Family Focus Weekend. Spanning three days, the event included four services—Friday night, Saturday night, and two on Sunday separated by a pizza lunch. The weekend drew strong participation and proved to be a great success.

If you want something fresh, family-friendly, and memorable, a BTI Family Service is a perfect choice.

HOST YOUR EVENT

Plan or host a workshop, seminar or Family Fun Service.

If your church is ready to strengthen its Children’s Ministry, BTI is here to help. There’s no need to wait for a seminar to come to your area—your church can host one with minimal cost and very simple requirements.

We hold these seminars in churches of all sizes. Once a date is set, we’ll provide you with a detailed checklist to guide you through the preparation.

Here are the basics to help you decide:

Provide a meeting area—fellowship hall, auditorium, or other room large enough for 50 people and 4 or 5 tables.
Provide 4 or 5 tables for registration and exhibits. BTI can provide tables if needed.
Provide coffee, donuts, juice, snacks, etc. for the check-in time.
Make copies of the worksheets for all those attending.
Promote the seminar to help us have as many people attend as possible.
Pray for God to bless the seminar.
