What People Are Saying About Ivy Beckwith

“Ivy Beckwith has been a friend and colleague of mine for more than fifteen years. She brings great experience from a diversity of contexts to the subject of children’s ministry.  Most significantly, she is one of the leading voices in guiding children’s ministry from dated paradigms and programs to a renewed authenticity in the emerging culture.”
Tim Conder, Minister to Young Adults at Chapel Hill Bible Church, Chapel Hill, North Carolina and member of the Emergent Coordinating Team

“In my opinion, children’s ministry deserves the same kind of renaissance that is happening in youth ministry.  We need people who have the courage to upset the applecart, throw out the rotten apples, and make apple pie out of the fresh ones.  Ivy Beckwith has that kind of courage.  She can see where we’ve fallen into ruts of the same-old-same-old.  In other words, she can creatively assess what needs to change and help churches forge a path ahead.  Not only that, Ivy has the theological chops to build a framework for children’s ministry that is both biblically faithful and developmentally appropriate for kids.  She’s the woman for the job!”
Tony Jones, Author of PostModern Youth Ministry and Soul Shaper

“Ivy has a gift. She understands a changing culture and its effect on ministry with children and is able to bring home practical helpful insights for any ministry that will provide a roadmap for future effective ministry with your children.”
Ron Richardson, Southeast Regional Manager, Gospel Light Publications
