Greg offers a clear & current message relevant to the times we live in, and he is always wanted back by our conference participants. The room is always packed for Greg as he offers warm & interactive presentations. We try and get Greg every year to speak at our AWANA Conference of over 1200. I have never been disappointed and I know that he will be a blessing to whatever group he speaks to.” Gene Goertzen, Soutwest Regional Director, AWANA
Core Leader / Staff Development
Greg Baird’s first “boss” in ministry, John Maxwell, teaches that “Everything rises & falls on leadership.” If this is true (and we believe it is), then intentionally developing leaders must be a high priority. Your ministry will only rise to the level that your leadership team can take it.
We offer flexible leadership development solutions (on-site, video conferencing, short- or long-term, etc.). Contact Us for a free conversation about how we can partner to equip your leaders. Topics might include (but are not limited to):
- Leading Effectively In Children’s Ministry
- The Perfect KidMin Leader
- Developing Yourself As A Children’s Ministry Leader
- Developing The Children’s Ministry Leader Around You
- Teamwork and Teambuilding
- It Takes a TEAM To Build A Children’s Ministry
- Challenges Every KidMin Leader Faces And How To Handle Them

I & my husband have had the privilege or hearing Greg as a keynote speaker. He was clever, organized, clear, concise and very funny! He gave much needed encouragement to the attendees, and it was obvious they enjoyed him immensely! I have heard many, many speakers over the years and would rank Greg right up there with the best, especially as he lives what he believes.” Jana Alayra, Jana Alayra Music
