Equip: How to Engage the Whole Group
Equip: How to Engage the Whole Group
Online training for your whole Children's Ministry team
Kids develop at different rates, they learn in different ways, have different characters, and different backgrounds and so no wonder we all find it hard to know how to engage them as one group on Sunday mornings! Come and hear how gathering kids of all ages, abilities, and genders within children’s ministry is a beautiful opportunity to be embraced rather than resented as we show children Jesus and spur each other on in loving God together.
You’ll be encouraged to lean into the positives and be prepared for the challenges as you chat through the needs of your group as a team.
You’ll be equipped with plenty of tips to engage your high energy boys, include your timid tiny ones, and capture the minds of the cleverest too.
You’ll understand what to expect from children’s attention spans, and how to incorporate and embrace the different learning styles in your group so that everyone is engaged and growing in faith, no matter their age, ability, or gender.
Zoom training runs from 8-9pm with an optional further discussion in your teams for 9-9.30pm
Who should I invite?
Equip training is for anyone who serves with children in church on Sundays, whatever age or experience. You might be the best on your team at engaging with children - this evening is for you! Or you may be the most timid member of the team and feeling as overwhelmed as the kids are - this evening is for you too! We hope that everyone will leave encouraged with new ideas and confidence to make a difference for one child at a time, just like Jesus.
Equip is for your whole team so why not open your home and invite them all round? 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 - discussion
If meeting in person is not possible, we will have organised a remote breakout room for your team members to join you in. This will be done for any church with 2+ tickets booked so there is no need to email us a request.
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.
