‘From little things…’
Children's and Youth Ministry Training Day 2025
- This event has passed.
‘From little things…
…big* things grow.’
*huge, important, meaningful, significant, influential, glorious, etc
Our theme is ‘From little things…’ Kristina Kettleton will be our main speaker, leading us in reflecting on how things that may seem small and inconsequential can become glorious in God’s kingdom. A variety of seminars will equip you and your team with knowledge and skills for effective children’s and youth ministry.
No one should attempt children’s and youth ministry on their own. Bring your team along to the Children’s and Youth Ministry Training Day to be energised and equipped as you serve Jesus among children and young people.

Online Program
The online program for the 2025 Training Day will live-stream the opening session with a Bible talk from our keynote speaker and live-stream the closing session with a Q&A from a panel of children’s and youth ministry leaders.
There are three sessions of elective seminars from online presenters. All but one are online only seminars. These are not live-streamed hybrid presentations, but an online presenter engaging with online participants (apart from LO2 which is hybrid).
The online seminars are interactive and designed to engage whole teams as well as individuals. These are ‘cameras on, microphones ready’ seminars; not ‘listen in while doing something else seminars!
Seminars cover four ministry areas: Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Intergenerational Ministry, and Children’s and Youth Ministry Leadership.
