Authorised Children's Minister Course

[Sharon Pritchard]

Is there someone in your parish who could become an Authorised Children's Minister?

The Authorised Children’s Minister Course covers aspects of children’s ministry by exploring children’s development, spirituality, formation and discipleship; new approaches and current best practice alongside expanding personal skills to enable participants to be visionary leaders within their parish and throughout the Diocese.

The course aims to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for the successful completion of the course and chosen project, within a safe and supportive learning environment.

The course runs from January to September and includes four Saturday sessions as well as four shorter zoom sessions.  There is approx. ten hours of self-directed preparation/study/journal work and two sessions of one hour each with the course facilitator.  In total, the course should take no more than 60 hours.

There is no formal assessment for this course, however feedback and evaluations, plus attendance, discussions, achievements, presentation of project and journal will all count to success.
