Kids in Worship has become a hot topic for churches. After the pandemic, we let go of formal Sunday School, and opted to fully integrate kids and youth into the life of the congregation. It’s still a work in progress, but we have made cultural shifts to help families worship together and to help kids and youth find their voice in worship. Heather will share her insights, her failures, and what has worked, thus far.

Heather is the Family Pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran Church – Twin Cities in Minneapolis, MN. She enjoys storytelling God’s story in creative ways, connecting the ages and stages of life, and playing with her two puppies.
