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
Never too old to learn more!
Working through the Biblical Narrative is bringing my faith to another level. My understanding of the Old Testament has never been easy, but I am beginning to get a handle on the narrative. Matt’s knowledge is excellent and he explains things in a succinct and interesting way. I love how the Old and New Testaments compliment each other and bring the stories and truths to life.
GOD saves
The counseling was very good. I learnt a lot of new things that I can certainly apply in the future.
Extremely thorough and detailed!
I found part 2 challenging and confronting. I enjoyed learning about effective teamwork and communication. Conflict management was detailed and thorough, with a biblical lens. Mentoring and coaching and discipleship was well informed. Fantastic lectures, jam packed with gems and gold nuggets. Well done!
