Last night, Children and Families Ministry leaders from Greerton Bible Church, Paengaroa Bible Chapel, Lifezone Church and The Orchard Church gathered in the Bay of Plenty. CCCNZ Children and Family Ministries Enabler Julie McKinnon writes,
“Generously hosted by Mikayla Crawford, Children’s Pastor at The Orchard Church, we enjoyed an evening of fellowship and discussion. It was great to hear encouraging stories about Rally, Mainly Music, and children’s ministries from around the region.
“Kylie Brown and her team from Lifezone Church shared about a new model they are using in their children’s ministry this year (you can read the full story here). It was a great evening of encouragement and connection.”

A huge thank you to our volunteer Children and Families Ministry leaders serving in local churches across the movement. Thank you for your devotion and commitment to pointing children and their families to Jesus through the gospel from the Bible.
While I mention this, if you are involved or have an interest in ministry with children and their families, can I encourage you to subscribe to the CCCNZ Children and Families newsletter? I know I’m biased but it is so encouraging!
