Training
At CEF, training is at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just want children to hear Bible stories — we want them to be taught the truth those stories contain. We’ll show you how to turn a Bible story into a Bible lesson that helps children understand who God is and how they can know Him.
We offer training across all areas of children’s ministry, including:
- What is the gospel?
- Teaching a memory verse
- Reaching today’s child
- Applying the truth to believers and unbelievers
- Helping new followers of Jesus
- Working with teenagers
- Behaviour management
