Training & Events
|
It's not just the kids who need to learn about Jesus - we need to grow in our knowledge and love of both God and the children we minister too. Join us at a training event near you, or contact us to book one of your own.
We are also part of the New Zealand Children's Ministry Network, along with SUNZ, Kid's Friendly, The Baptist Churches, Unlimited, and others. The NZCMN works with churches and children's ministry leaders around the country, sharing in training, resources, networking and prayer.

Leading Incredible Volunteers
Hosted by the Salvation Army, The Leading Incredible Volunteers tour is all about … volunteers. Whether you’re a leader of volunteers or a volunteer leader, this tour will challenge and inspire you to take your team to the next level. Join Adam Duckworth and Margaret Spicer as they share real life experience and unique insights into what it means for you to be a team of incredible volunteers. Discover the power of working as “We”, how to lead when you’re not in charge, and be challenged to ‘own’ rather than ‘rent’ in ministry. Incredible teams are made up of ordinary people with an extraordinary difference. Incredible volunteers. The tour is made up of two kinds of events which are being offered in six cities around New Zealand, 24-30 May 2019: a Team Leaders Lunch, and a Volunteer and Teams training.
