Children’s Ministries University Online (CMUO) is pleased to announce the launch of its latest 3-credit course Kids in Ministry to be available beginning November 1, 2009.
CMU211: Kids in Ministry examines how to involve preschool and elementary children in ministry in the local church, the community, and missions. Attention will be given to how children learn to serve, and how teachers can recognize and cultivate the God-given talents of each of their students. How to motivate children and how to avoid obstacles that discourage their involvement will be discussed. Included will be resources that encourage children to be active in ministry at their age-level.
Some of the topics covered in this course include:
- Scriptural Basis for Involving Children in Ministry
- Educational Perspectives on ‘Hands-on’ Learning and Participation
