Dale Hudson

With over 36 years of experience, Dale's passion and calling is to equip, encourage and empower churches to reach and disciple kids and families. He is a wealth of knowledge in children and family ministry in the local church. Churches and ministries both nationally and internationally look to him for children and family ministry ideas, insight and strategies. He invests in thousands of ministry leaders each year.

Dale is a ministry builder. As a Children's Pastor, he has helped build and lead some
of the largest and fastest-growing  children's ministries in the country. At Cross Church, he led the children's ministry to double in size. At Central Christian Church in Las Vegas, he helped the church grow from 8,000 to 16,000 in three years with the majority of the
growth coming from reaching unchurched families.

At Christ Fellowship Church in South Florida, Dale helped the church grow from 12,000 to 28,000 in nine years, where
once again, much of the growth came from reaching unchurched families. Dale and his team saw 430 kids and dozens
of parents baptized in one year. During those nine years, he also built the children's ministry volunteer team from 300 to 2,000 and helped the children's ministry expand from 3 campuses to 9 campuses. He personally invested in many of the volunteers and saw them step into staff roles. He oversaw a children's ministry staff team of over 70. 

He was voted by Children's Ministry magazine as one of the top 20 Most Influential Voices in Children's Ministry and was awarded the Outstanding Servant's Award at the national Children's Pastor's Conference. His ministry has been featured in numerous newspaper and magazine articles including Time Magazine and Christianity Today. His ministry was featured in an ABC national television special called "The Changing Face of Worship."
