A key objective of the Victoria Children’s Ministry Network is supporting and encouraging the development of local networks of Children and Families ministry leaders. We see these networks as vital in offering support and encouragement, helping broaden the vision and scope of ministry, and sharing resources and ideas.
Anyone involved in Children and Families ministry can be part of these networks: Sunday School leaders, Children & Families ministers, pastors, kids’ club leaders, CRE teachers, primary school chaplains, Kids Hope mentors, SUPA Club leaders…the list is endless. If you are working with children and their families in your community, get together with others and see what God can do!
We have produced a Start-up Kit to help you begin a local children’s ministry network in your town, suburb or school. This can be downloaded from the link to the right.
Each network usually gathers once per term. Check below to see if there is a network in your local area. If you know about or are involved in an existing network group that is not listed, please let us know about it.
For more information or to register your interest in networking, contact Chris Barnett chris.barnett@ctm.uca.edu.au
