The Small Church Ministry Podcast 153: Creating A Welcoming Place For Unchurched Youth & Non-Traditional Family Structures with Sandy Smith | Accessibility & Inclusion Series Part 5
Whether you’re a Sunday school teacher, ministry leader, pastor, or volunteer, this important episode explores the intersection of faith, family, and inclusion.
Ministry leader and adoptive parent, Sandy Smith, shares how we can do better at creating welcoming spaces for unchurched youth and non-traditional families, who often feel on the outside looking in.
Join this conversation as we discuss the challenges faced by these young people and families and how small churches can create more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive spaces.
Listen in to learn about how we can do better with:
- Behavior standards and kids running in the hallway
- Prizes and incentives that unintentionally lead to exclusion instead of motivation
- More relational time and why it’s essential in our classrooms and youth groups
- Sensitivity around holidays and family-centered celebrations
