Children’s Ministry
Little people have a big place in God’s heart and a vital place in Baptist Churches SA & NT
Children’s Ministry Workers Network
A key way we support Children’s Ministries is through our Children’s Ministry Workers Network.
This network is a community of Children’s Ministry leaders across Baptist Churches SA & NT. We meet, connect, and share resources in order to support one another and to continually grow in the skills and practice of leading Children’s Ministry in a local church.
Keeping our kids safe
Churches should be safe places where people of all ages feel safe, and it’s our duty to make sure we take care of our young people.
