Children’s Ministry Training (ALM Refresher)
November 29 @ 10:00 am – 3:30 pm
This refresher day is designed for Authorised Lay Ministers (ALMs) to revisit core principles of children’s ministry and explore new insights into mission and ministry with children.
We will be exploring key areas of children’s ministry through the lens of the Children’s Ministry Essentials programme. The CME Programme comes from the National Team at the Church of England, led by Dr Carolyn Edwards. During the day, we will explore child development, the role of play, inclusion, creating space for children in church communities, and the varied contexts in which ministry takes place. The training supports continued growth in leadership and pastoral care, offering fresh insights and practical tools.
