Seminars

We have a full and exciting programme of seminars and discussion groups being prepared for you in 2025, led by the leading voices of children & family ministry in the UK.  

We have 4 different types of sessions:

1. Long sessions – these traditional one hour sessions give you an opportunity to explore an area in depth.
2. Short sessions – these 15 minute sessions are packed with ideas in a concentrated form.
3. Networking sessions – a chance for you to meet and network with other people who share your heart for a specific area. 
4. Table top discussions – these smaller discussion groups allow you to reflect on specific areas (please note places for these are limited and will need to be prebooked). 

Our sessions are split into 6 streams, so you know the kind of content that will be found in each one:

• Starting – helping those who are new to children & family ministry, or those wanting to get a basic understanding of a topic. 
• Thinking – grappling with the theology that underpins our ministry practice.
• Creating – Creative, hands on ideas to enrich your ministry.
• Growing – for those ready to take their ministry to the next level.
• Reaching – Reaching out to those who do not know Christ yet. 
• Researching – Presenting the latest research and reflecting on how this affects our work on the ground.  

 You don’t have to track through a stream or a theme, you can create your own custom programme.
