Energise (Toddler Team Training): Staying Strong Together

Energise (Toddler Team Training): Staying Strong Together

Serving in a church toddler group is a joy! But we all know it can be tiring, messy, and, at times, a real stretch too. In this training evening we’ll explore how “Staying Strong Together” as a toddler group team will help you keep that joy no matter how crazy the role is. Let us give you practical tools and strategies that will help you grow in unity, encouragement, and resilience as you serve families together week by week.

What to expect:

• Biblical Examples. We will launch the session by opening scripture and gleaning wisdom from the ministry teams who serve together and will reflect on how to keep pointing one another to Jesus, the source of our unity and strength, so that our care for others flows from Him rather than from our own reserves.

• Practical tips. We’ll unpack strategies like showing appreciation, sharing the load, handling challenges graciously, and creating a culture where every team member feels valued and supported, not just in theory, but practically applied simply and easily.

• Real examples. We’ll share stories of some of these strategies in action. Your whole team will be encouraged that simple small changes make a big difference, and will hear stories that make you think “that could happen here too”.

• Rich conversations. You’ll have two different opportunities to chat as a team (or with others you don’t yet know if you’d rather) where you can begin to apply all of this to your own context. We’ll give you carefully crafted questions that will get your team talking, thinking, and tackling this topic together.

Who should I invite?

Energise training is for anyone who serves in a church toddler group, whether you lead it or just turn up on the day and pass round the breadsticks. This evening is about gathering together no matter your different levels of experience or engagement and then celebrating the different gifts and passions in the room. We hope that everyone will leave encouraged with new ideas and new levels of friendship to enable you to love and serve one another well as you partner together to serve families.

Why not open your home and invite your team round to join the training together? You could cook up a big Spag Bol, or put out a plethora of puddings. You’ll eat, and chat, and hear great fresh ideas to encourage and inspire you again. Let us train your team, all you need to do is sort the snacks!

Attending in a church group

You can make use of our group ticket which costs £20 and is valid for 5+ members of the same church group. 

We recommend meeting in person with your team and joining the training together in person on one screen. Our suggested timings would be: 

7:30pm - meet to (eat and) pray
8-9pm - join the training
9-9:30pm - discuss the training 

If meeting in person is not possible, we will have organised a remote breakout room for your team members to join. This will automatically be done when a church has booked 2+ tickets. There's no need to email us. 

Attending by yourself

If you are buying a single ticket, you can either be allocated to a breakout group with others or work by yourself.

If you can't attend

If you can't attend but would like a recording of the training, please purchase a ticket and you will automatically be sent the recording the next day.
