TIM Centre is bringing back Level 1 of the Children's Ministry Creative Lab series based on continual interest in the children's ministry focus.

As a course part of Tyndale Intercultural Ministries (TIM) Centre's Diploma/Certificate of Foundations in Missional Ministry and Church Leadership, this course seeks to provide training to equip Canadians for intercultural ministry.

Children's Ministry Creative Lab - Level 1

Course Instructor: Pastor Teresa Tong

Children are our future spiritual leaders, so we need to nurture their faith formation rooted in biblical understanding and child development. In today’s fast-moving world, we put much effort into staying current with the world in which we are called to minister. However, the principles of ministry today are the same as when Jesus first referred to them. Children’s Ministry leaders and teachers need to keep up with the pace of the society while still remain true to Bible’s core teaching.

This course will affirm us with the mission of Children’s Ministry and children’s potential of experiencing God. Through lecturing, hands-on activities and small group discussions, students will be introduced to practical approaches and creative ways for designing programs that respond to the spiritual needs of children and nurture their growth.
