Ministry Courses
Children’s Ministry Minister
Training for parents, leaders and teachers in children’s ministry, with spiritual, pedagogical and emotional foundations for ages 0 to 10.
Jesus taught us to bring the children to him, because the kingdom of God belongs to them. It means their hearts are fertile ground for a life of faith and for experiences with the Lord.
Hence the importance of a well-structured children’s ministry: it secures healthy growth and lays solid biblical foundations a child will never forget.
The teacher plays a decisive part in the growth of the little ones — and so in the future of the whole Church.
