Children's ministry in a time of pandemic

About This Course

The aim of the course is to reflect on this important ministry during the changed circumstances that we found ourselves in around the world due to COVID-19. Whether you have been involved in children’s ministry for many years, or are just starting out, this 6 session online course will explore new ways of reaching and discipling children, and give you the confidence to do what you are already doing only better! Although the course was written with the pandemic conditions in mind, they are packed full of useful information about how children experience the world and how we can nurture their spirituality and faith. Sessions include:

The faith of children
The spirituality of children
Children and the Bible
Working with families
Intergenerational worship
Sustainable leadership and team building.
