Building a Compassionate Kids' Ministry

Children’s and youth ministries are often the first place a child experiences community, belonging, and care. This training is designed to equip ministry leaders and volunteers with practical tools to create safe, welcoming, and compassionate environments for every child, especially those who have experienced trauma.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how trauma can impact a child’s behavior, emotions, and ability to engage, and will learn strategies to respond with empathy, confidence, and consistency. The training will focus on fostering emotional and physical safety, building trust, and supporting children from all backgrounds so they can thrive within your ministry.

This session is ideal for children’s ministry leaders, youth pastors, volunteers, and anyone who serves children or teens and desires to reflect Christ’s love through trauma-aware, compassionate care.
