CHILDREN'S PASTOR. CURRICULUM WRITER. INSTRUCTOR.
Hello I’m Mark,
your Children's Ministry mentor.
I have over 40 years of experience in the local church. I'm the creator of Super. Church 2.0 Curriculum which is currently used in Children's Ministries in over 5,000 Churches worldwide. The focus of my ministry is helping leaders build strong churches and helping parents build strong families. Not only have I served in the local church as a pastor, associate pastor, and family ministry pastor but I am also a certified coach with the John Maxwell Team.
I have started serveral Children's Ministries from the ground up, and I know the difficulty of it. I want to give you all the things that I learned in my 40+ years of working in ministry so you are set up for success.
What Our Students Are Saying:
“I enrolled on April 8, 2024, in the Lamplight Academy, online school and mentorship for kid’s pastors and children’s ministry leaders entitled, 'Building a kid’s ministry from the ground up'. I am so blessed and thankful that Mark Harper has taken his time, wisdom and experiences to invest in present and future kid’s ministry ministers and children’s leaders.
Pastor Harper begins by sharing the importance of having 'the call' and 'a vision' from God which leads to 'begin with the end in mind'.
Upon completion of the school, I have gained knowledge and skills on how to guide, teach through the leading and empowerment of the Holy Spirit children’s supernatural spiritual journey, and how to build a successful volunteer team which is essential to the ministry coming from Mark’s years of an hands-on-experiences to learn and avoid from his mistakes, choosing curriculum and much more.
I’m anxiously looking forward to enrolling in the next school to receive more of Mark Harper’s words of encouragement, his knowledge and experiences on kid’s ministry."
