Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) and the Children’s Ministry Network (CMN) have collaborated to develop the Children’s Ministry Essentials training programme.

This training includes modules on the world of the child, the developing child and biblical perspectives on children. We’ll also be looking at leadership and team, pastoral care and inclusion.

Each day will feature:

• Insights: research and theories on the theme
• Practice and Skills: to help you think about what it means for your mission and ministry
• Personal development: to develop you as a practitioner and disciple.

Everyone that completes the three-day course will receive a certificate.
