Conference for Children and Teenage Ministers

The conference is intended for participants in the children's and teenage ministries: Sunday School teachers, teenage ministers, directors, curriculum planners, coordinators of the children's ministry.

Dear brothers and sisters! We look forward to seeing you at the Children's and Teenage Ministers' Conference. The goals of this conference are: to become acquainted with and communicate with other children's and teenage ministers, exchanging of new ideas, resources, plans, creation of new joint projects, platforms for interaction in the cause of God and, of course, inspiration through training and joint discussion. We hope that you will find new opportunities and resources to help you in your ministry at this conference.

We also understand that one participant will not be able to attend all the lectures, seminars and round tables that will be presented (you will need to choose), so we recommend that you come with several people from one team so that you can split up and cover different topics, and then, when returning home, exchange the information you’ve received. We'd love to share with you the new ideas to work effectively in Sunday School and Children's Clubs.
