LEADER RESOURCES
Beyond big events, our heart is to personally connect with and empower kids pastors across the state. Through meetups, cohorts, events, and upcoming resources, our goal is to ensure no kids pastor does ministry alone. We’re here to support, equip, and cheer you on through every season of ministry.
ASOM Cohort
The Arizona School of Ministry (ASOM) exists to train, equip, and release men and women into effective ministry through accessible, practical, and Spirit-filled theological education. Whether you're pursuing credentialing with the Assemblies of God or simply growing in your calling, ASOM offers monthly classes, hands-on ministry training, and mentorship to help you lead with clarity, conviction, and confidence. Through the KidMin Cohort, you’ll build community with likeminded kids ministers while receiving practical training you can immediately apply in your ministry.
Book Cohort
This semester, our cohort will focus on strengthening the leader behind the ministry. Together, we'll read through The Emotionally Healthy Leader by Peter Scazzero, focusing on how to develop a deep, inner life with Christ, examining its profound implications for surviving stress, planning and decision making, building teams, creating healthy culture, influencing others, and much more.
As you read throughout the week, we'll gather on Zoom every other week for honest conversation, encouragement, and practical application alongside other KidMin leaders from across Arizona. Whether you're a full-time Kids Pastor or a volunteer leader, we'd love for you to join us this fall!
Registration for our Fall Semester is now open and will begin on September 5th, 2026!
Kidmin Meet Ups
We're thrilled to invite you to our KidMin meetups! We will be meeting at coffee shops around the valley for a few hours and we want you to come join! There is no agenda, we just want to sit over a cup of coffee and connect with each of you. This is a great opportunity to connect and build relationships with the kids pastors and churches in your area. While we will definitely talk about ministry, we also want to hear about YOU! Share your ideas on how you are engaging your kids, tell us about your families, ask questions, or share your favorite ways to find rest. We want to connect with you and equip you with a like-minded community as we minister to this next generation together.

Topical Zoom Calls
No matter your role, these Topical Zoom Calls are for you! Whether you're serving as a full-time Kids Pastor or leading as a volunteer, you'll gain practical tools, fresh ideas, and encouragement to help you reach the kids of Arizona for Jesus.
We're excited to announce this semester's lineup very soon. Each Zoom Call is designed to encourage, equip, and provide practical ministry tools for Kids Pastors and leaders across Arizona.
Stay tuned, you won't want to miss what's coming this fall!
Training Opportunities
The Equipped Training Day is created with you in mind. This one-day training is designed to come alongside pastors and leaders across Arizona with practical, focused equipping. In 2026, we’ll be centering our time on how to reach and support the special needs and foster families in your church and community. You’ll learn from experienced voices in the field and walk away feeling encouraged, equipped, and more confident as you care for every family God entrusts to you.
Equipped Training Day
Grow Conference is a statewide KidMin leader event that brings children’s pastors, volunteers, and ministry teams together for two days of encouragement and practical training. Throughout the conference you will experience worship, breakout sessions, resources designed for real ministry challenges, and opportunities to connect with leaders from across Arizona. We believe healthy leaders build healthy ministries and our desire is to help you grow in every season of leadership.
