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. This subject involves much more than simply thinking about playdough or craft – it takes you to God’s word to help shape your understanding of children’s ministry practice.

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
Overall effective Discipleship coverage
At first part 2 seemed to be misunderstood by me, and it seemed not in order, but as I persevered through part 2, it began to make sense. I find that the second part should be first and the first part second in making sense of the sequence, however, I found it to be a perfect mixture of personal, spiritual and professional development with an overall effective method towards developing Disciples of Christ. Thank you.
Loved it
I personally loved the historical coverage of how thinking and doctrine has developed in church history. Overall, a very practical unit on the Holy Spirit. The interview were also quite good – it was interesting to hear a variety of experiences with the Holy Spirit, and all of them had some great practicalities to take away!
