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.

Generate – Growing Intergenerational Ministry 22-23 February, Melbourne (newly announced) Now that the “Why” of intergenerational ministry is well-established, more and more leaders and their churches are wanting to explore the “How” and the “What”. It’s one thing to know that an intergenerational approach is vital for sustainable, long-term faith formation and discipleship for people of any age, it’s another thing entirely to implement such an approach in your own context. Generate 2019 – Growing Intergenerational Ministry will assist all shapes and sizes of churches, and their leaders, grow in their capacity to develop a genuinely intergenerational culture.
