Training for Children's Leaders & Ministers
The Barnabas Children's Ministry Team is committed to training and resourcing those who work with children and families through churches.
We do this through:
- Training with the Team
- Recommended Resources
- Conferences & Events
- Supporting Special Needs
- Advice & Training
Training with the Team
Members of the Barnabas Children's Ministry Team are available to come to your church and help you with your training needs.
In particular, we offer sessions that focus on sharing Bible stories creatively with children and families, developing and delivering successful all-age worship, supporting your team, exploring children's spirituality and also working with your local schools.
Recommended Resources
For some churches, those who work with children and families may have had little formal experience of teaching. Barnabas for Children is here to help resource and train this valuable group of individuals.
To this end, we've handpicked a great selection of resources ideal for training and building skills.
Conferences & Events
During the course of the year we attend and lead seminars or workshops at a number of conferences and events - including the Hand in Hand Children's and Family Ministry Conference and the Christian Resources Exhibition.
Keep an eye on the homepage for new events, sign up to our E-News or follow us on twitter for details.
Supporting Special Needs
In recent years, more and more churches have been looking for advice and resources for children with special needs so they can support them in their children’s programmes.
Advice & Training
We are building up a bank of useful training articles and outlines that are drawn from our regular ideas and features on this site.
