Children's Ministry

The Centre for Youth Ministry is planning to produce a degree in Children's ministry.

The reasons for this are:

• Graduate feedback has identified this as a gap in their training.
• There is very little coherent training in Children's work and indeed no training available at Higher Education level.
• Two of CYM's partners, St John's College, Nottingham and Ridley Hall, Cambridge, are expressing a particular interest in this venture. There is also interest from a number of outside bodies.
• CYM is represented on a group convened by the Archbishop's Officer for Evangelism among Children, aiming to produce a set of agreed standards for work among children.
• CYM is also represented on a group considering the concept of Child Theology.

Watch this space for further developments. Exciting times are ahead!
