I first met Art as our consultant to help develop a new look and approach to our Children's Ministry. Immediately, I could see he had the talent and interpersonal skills to work with people and to get things done. In the end, we could not be more pleased with the final product: an approach to Children's Ministry that is uniquely better than any concept we could have developed on our own.

Art Murphy is a tremendous leader in the area of children and family ministry. I've seen Art in action and recommend him to any organization that wants to move up to a higher level. Art is a real winner.

Art has a gift to communicate the value and importance of having a dynamic children’s ministry.  Art is creative, humorous, practical and biblically based.  I would definitely invite Art back to our church again.  He is the best person I know at understanding children's ministry.

I have never met a person in my lifetime who has as much heart and passion for helping kids and their families as Art Murphy does. Any organization dedicated to children and families will be a significantly better place for partnering with him.

For growing churches like ours, we are entering new territory with questions we don’t yet know to ask. Plus, our present financial situation caused us to shy away from bringing in a consultant. However, the choice to invite Art Murphy was worth it. He not only helped us think wisely about step 1, he helped us think through steps that would come way down the road as we continue to grow. Art also provided effective training for my team. His approach is very engaging. They continue to refer to what they learned. In summary, the personal, tailor made investment from Art will provide a wealth of wisdom and insight, enabling you to move forward effectively and successfully with your mission to reach children and families.

Art Murphy is one of the top children’s ministry leaders in America.  He brings loads of experience, relevance, and wisdom to the table.  If you are content with the status quo then do not attend THE NEXT LEVEL training.

Dale Hudson, veteran Children's Minister/Leader

 

At key times in my life, God brought along people to encourage, inspire, and challenge me to dream bigger and aim higher...not for personal fulfillment but for advancing the kingdom of God.  Art Murphy is a man God has used in my life in this way.  Art has taught me about serving God with professionalism and excellence.

Dave Lewis, founder The Basic Idea, former Director of Care Network, North Point Community Church, Alpharetta, GA

 

It is a pleasure to recommend to you Art Murphy to come along side your church to build a most vibrant Children’s Ministry. Art worked with us for almost a year in our process of moving to a new church campus. With his expertise he helped us re-design our entire Children’s Ministry to fit the needs of our church and community.

​

What we appreciate about Art is he took the time to learn who we are as a church and a pastoral staff so he could design a unique approach just for us. Art will bring his vast expertise, knowledge and wisdom to help provide the children of your church the best spiritual experience. He provided guidance for us in the development of our theming, for room design to complete the look of our Children’s area.

​

As a pastor, he was a great help to me personally, in my own leadership style. He gave me some great advice to become a better leader in my own church staff, church leaders and church family.

​

We highly recommend Art Murphy to help you design your Children’s Ministry to glorify God.

Eric Stitts, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Daytona Beach, FL

To describe Art Murphy, one must use words like visionary, relevant, energetic, and compassionate.  Art's desire to help churches discover, refresh, and restore the vision and joy of ministering to children and families is contagious.  I would encourage any church to take advantage of Art’s experience and wisdom.

Marsha Naugle, Director of Preschool, First Baptist Church, Enid, OK

 

Since 1974 I've watched Art Murphy diligently follow after Christ and serve His church, pouring out his life in ministry to children and their families. Art is the picture of joy and enthusiasm. God is powerfully using Art to lead, coach, mentor and resource others in better serving children and their families.

As the title of your company suggests, you helped us find solutions for several challenges that, at the time, appeared as if they had no easy answers. Your sound philosophy, coupled with so many good, practical suggestions really helped us move forward!

Art Murphy is one of the finest leaders in children and family ministries in America.  I have personally been encouraged, coached, and challenged by Art's life and service, and I know God will use him in your ministry and church as well.  His specialties, godly parenting and effective child evangelism, are without equal.  I highly recommend Art to anyone who desires to take their children's ministry, family ministry, and church to new heights for the Kingdom.  He is a dear brother in the Lord to me, a mentor and friend, as he will be for you too.

Rob Brooks, veteran Children's Minister, Dacula, GA

 

Art Murphy is truly one of the most gifted communicators when it comes to parents and children.  His ministry will not only bless your church, it will positively impact it.  Each time he speaks lives are changed.
