Resources

Our aim is to equip those who are interested in Children's Ministries. Here you will find all the resources that you need to organize programs, teach children, nurture them and meet their needs.

Leadership Certification (Level 1 -10)

Coordinating children’s ministries in the local church requires more than passion and a love for children. Children’s leaders and teachers need to understand children and how they grow their faith. They need to know how to organize programs, teach children, nurture them and meet their needs. Therefore, the Children’s Ministries Leadership Certification program can be used for such leadership training on a regular basis. These courses can be taught as seminars during teachers’ conventions, leadership training or certification weekends. It may take one to two years to complete all nine courses, after which a certificate from the Division will be given to each participant. Click here for more information.

Children Year Book: Michael Asks Why

Inspired by the real questions of her then seven-year old son named in the book's title, Michael Asks Why is a great way to direct children's attention to the important spiritual topics contained in The Great Controversy. With those three words, Michael starts a life-changing discussion with his mother that opens his young mind to the issues behind the war of all wars. This book is a creative adaptation for children of Ellen G. White's classic The Great Controversy. Click here to download the book.
