• Intergenerational Worship: Changing our Assumptions, Mending our Practices

    Zoom

    Children are fully capable of leading in worship, yet it often takes intentional effort from adults to nurture their gifts. If you’re hoping to examine your assumptions about intergenerational worship or to gather new practices for your ministry, we hope you’ll join us. In this workshop-webinar, you’ll think more critically about your church’s worship practices, engage recent research, and learn from congregations across the country who are doing this well.
    P.S. If the word “children” made you wonder whether this applies to your work, this webinar-workshop was designed precisely with you in mind.

  • Safer Sanctuaries Training

    Zoom

    Every United Methodist congregation is required to have a Safer Sanctuaries policy — but this is more than paperwork. Safer Sanctuaries is a way of being in ministry. It’s a movement to make our churches safe places for children, youth, vulnerable adults, and the people who minister with them. This training will give you the theological grounding, practical tools, and hands-on experience to help your congregation not only have a policy but also make it central to the life of the church.
