Hydrate – Leader Course

February 15-March 15, 2026

Hydrate is a digital learning community for Kidmin leaders. This six week discipleship journey is designed to build community, deepen calling, and equip leaders to make disciples. Our deep hope is that all Minnesota Kidmin Pastors/Leaders are Spirit-led, connected, and well-trained.  During our hourly virtual sessions, topics will include, but not limited to:

•  Destination Makes the Difference
•  Building Resilient Disciples
•  Building Deep Faith
•  The Most Important Part of Any Service
•  The 7 Dimensions of a Spirit-Filled Disciple
•  How to bring messages and stories to life—and leave the kids thinking long after the lesson ends.

We’re excited to start this journey of learning and growing together.
