Online Leadership Training Course
for New Children's Ministers

How long have you served as a children’s minister?
Less than 1 year? Less than 2 years? Less than 3 years?
Do you feel like you are out there on your own? Do you need connection? A mentor? 


People who are new to ministry with children often feel overwhelmed with responsibilities, organization, and the needs of children and families. We have gathered seasoned children’s ministers who possess expertise in particular areas to support you through those first steps in children’s ministry. Join us for an 8-part interactive distance learning series for new children’s ministers that will offer you the foundational pieces for visioning and organizing children’s ministry in your congregation and community, equipping you to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world!
