Ministry with those in the first third of life requires skill and creativity. If we imagine this ministry as art, we lean into practices that help us create meaningful ministry and facilitate the deepening of relationships. This short intensive will explore practices of children and youth ministry in a Christian context with a focus on faith formation, worship, spiritual practice and community building. This course is intended for those already practicing the art of children and youth ministry, those brand new, or those wishing to enhance their skills and practices.
​
