Church Colleges' Certificate
The Church Colleges’ Certificate in Children’s Ministry is a nationally recognised award, validated by the University of Chester, and is the equivalent of 60 credits at level one (undergraduate level).
The course, run in partnership by the Dioceses of Manchester and Chester, lasts three terms and is intended for anyone wishing to develop their understanding and skills in children’s ministry in a church context. The three taught modules look at: understanding children; the Bible and children; and children and worship. In addition there is a reflective component to the course which encourages students to think theologically about their work.
If it sounds like something you might want to consider applying for, then please get in touch with Steve Dixon (0161 828 1433) as soon as possible for further details and an application form.
The taught sessions are six evenings and two Saturdays for each of the three terms, and two visits to a placement church per term. To achieve the award of the Certificate there are a number of assignments to complete. The cost for 2007/8 will be £150 for the year.
There are no educational entry requirements, but students will need to be actively involved with children’s ministry in the church and have a clear CRB enhanced disclosure certificate specifically for the course.
