Children’s ministry volunteers from Emmett Street Community Church, Halswell Community Church and Rutland Street Church in Christchurch gathered in early March for a workshop run by Julie McKinnon (CCCNZ Children and Family Ministries Enabler), that explored how our understanding of children shapes our ministry practice.
Last weekend ministry teams from Heretaunga Community Church (Upper Hutt), Onslow Community Church and The Anchor Church joined together for a similar training event.
Julie shared how encouraged she was to see a range of ages represented among the volunteers, from younger to older, showing how important intergenerational discipleship is.
Julie is keen to be talking to churches who want to work together over a Saturday to grow their children and family ministries’ volunteers. If you’d like to invite Julie to run a workshop in your region, please don’t hesitate to contact her at juliemckinnon@cccnz.nz.
