Welcome to


CDM’s mission is to strengthen the Church through connections. Through articles, podcasts, and resources we want to help connect you with people and tools that will help you in ministry.
Ministry to children can often feel lonely, but we hope this site will be a place that will encourage you and equip you for a lifetime of investing in the next generation. You are part of God’s covenant community and your investment in the little ones really does matter to God.

Why hymns? Join the worship pastor of Covenant PCA in Harrisonburg, VA, Burress McCombe, as he shares his love for the hymns and how they can connect our children to the historical Church. Honestly, I used to think hymns were old fashioned, but worshipping with Burress at CDM's Children's Ministry Leadership Training Retreat and talking to him for this episode has broadened my understanding of the rich theology found in them and how using hymns can equip and encourage our worship for the rest of their lives.
