Many seminars are available that provide children’s ministry leaders, volunteers and parents with effective training that will help them evangelize and disciple children. As well, pastors and children’s ministry leaders can use these seminars for training groups.  Biblical principles and practical ideas are clearly communicated in each seminar. They can be taken at a self study pace. No credit can be earned towards another program of study. Many are available free of charge!
