Core Skills for Childrens' Work

This training scheme seeks to resource all those who work with children in the church, and provides part of the foundational training for children's leaders in the Methodist Church and United Reformed Church. The material is creative and interactive, making it highly accessible as one-off two-hour training programmes for children's leaders within the local church. Devised and developed by members of CGMC, the twelve stand-alone modules cover key areas of children's work. The first six modules were published in Core Skills for Children's Work:

  • Leadership skills
  • Programme development
  • Pastoral awareness
  • Child development
  • Spirituality and the Bible
  • Children and community

In September 2010, More Core Skills for Children's Work was published by Barnabas and contained the following modules:

  • Transitions
  • Special needs
  • Challenging behaviour
  • The global dimension
  • Children's advocacy
  • Young leaders
