Join your children’s ministry peers
to share ideas and inspiration on practical ministry topics.
Across the course of the year, the Children’s Ministry Collective will tackle a number of different practical topics.
Each topic will have three Zoom sessions across the month where you can share ideas, raise questions and discuss the topic together. You are welcome to attend as many of the zoom sessions for each topic as suits your availability.
Our discussions will be directed by Youthworks Children’s Ministry Advisors but entirely shaped by the questions you bring. Resources produced or shared as a result of each topic will be aimed at helping you put into practice one aspect of the ministry area being discussed that month.
Please note that these are intended for those leading the children’s ministry—whether paid or unpaid.
