Develop the leader. Pass the faith.
ONE45
ONE45 is our leadership development hub, where kids ministry leaders are trained, coached, and encouraged to pass the faith from one generation to the next.
“One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.”
Psalm 145:4
What is One45?
The name comes from Psalm 145:4. ONE45 is built on one conviction: healthy ministries are led by healthy leaders. Leaders who feel alone tend to stop, so ONE45 is more than a library of content. It’s a community of leaders doing this work alongside you.
What's inside ONE45?
Leader Trainings
Practical, accessible training designed for children’s ministry leaders at every stage, from brand-new volunteers stepping into a classroom for the first time to experienced children’s pastors looking to sharpen their craft. Training content covers the full spectrum of ministry leadership: child safety and classroom management, volunteer recruitment and retention, ministry structure and organizational design, teaching and discipleship methods, and the deep cross-generational philosophy that drives the IPHC Kids vision. Trainings are available online and in-person, ensuring that geography and budget are never a barrier to growth.
The IPHC Kids Podcast
Conversations that equip, inspire, and connect. The IPHC Kids Ministry podcast brings together practitioners, thinkers, and leaders from across the IPHC to talk honestly about the work of children’s ministry; what’s working, what’s hard, and what it looks like to give every child every opportunity to know Jesus in the church you actually lead. Whether you’re driving to church, prepping for a Sunday, or trying to stay encouraged on a hard week, this podcast is a voice in your corner.
The Huddle
Once a year, kids ministry leaders from across the IPHC gather and something happens that can’t be replicated in a training video or a podcast episode. The Huddle is our annual gathering event for IPHC Kids Ministry leaders: a space to be trained, to worship, to meet peers from across the denomination, and to remember why this work matters. For many leaders, Huddle is the moment that resets their vision, fills their tank, and sends them home with the courage to keep going. You’re not doing this alone. The Huddle is the proof.
Ministry Structure & Coaching
One of the most common felt needs among children’s ministry leaders is clarity: clarity about who does what, how the ministry is organized, and how to move from a good vision to a working structure. One Forty-Five includes ministry coaching resources built around the Plan, People, and Purpose framework: practical tools to help you assess where you are, define what healthy looks like, and build a team and structure that can carry your ministry forward without burning you out.
Growth & Development Pathways
Leadership development is not a one-time event. It’s a journey. One Forty-Five is designed to walk with you across that journey wherever you are right now. Whether you are brand new to children’s ministry and looking for a foundation to build on, or you’ve been at this for decades and want to invest in the next generation of leaders behind you, there is a pathway inside One Forty-Five for you.

Why One45?
There are plenty of resources for kids, but far fewer for the leaders who serve them. When you invest in a leader, the effect multiplies. Their volunteers serve differently, kids experience something different, and families are supported in new ways.
