Children's Ministry Overview
Children’s Ministry. In this quick and effective short course we are going to answer the important question, “How do I minister to kids?” If you’re considering volunteering or you are already serving in children’s ministry then this course is perfect for you.
This course is a great introduction to thinking practically about children’s ministry. Children are a vital part of any church community, they are the future of the church as well.

About your instructor

Ps Andrew Austin
Former Children's Pastor at Berwick Churches of Christ. Have you ever considered why God instituted family? What's Jesus opinion of the family? What role does the family have in society? God has designed the family and the role that the family and faith play in children's lives is critically important. My hope is that you find clarity into the important role family plays in society today.
Course reviews
Pastral Care
This unit has been so inspiring. Learning about myself more and how to work alongside others in a team and manage situations that sometimes may be difficult. Realising that we are all wired differently with a specific skill set and giftings makes doing life an interesting mix. Understanding expectations, communication styles and behaviour patterns is instrumental in leading a church and working in teams. I have been fascinated in knowing more about myself and why I behave the way I do. Knowing that I can get alongside others and show care and concern to help them in their time of need, is what we are called to do.
A matrix of practical relevant Biblical Wisdom!!!
This is truly a fabulous collection of solid material based on an overview of collective organisational ministry goodies, that includes, informative Biblical insight into accountability, ministry, organisational management and oversight, money concepts and budgeting matters, and further knowledge that is grounded on practical and contemporary Biblical Wisdom. Thank you.
All good
Very concise and informative.
