If you were asked, ‘What is your church’s long-term spiritual development plan for any child born into your congregation this year?’, what would your answer be?
Little could contribute more to the long-term wellbeing of any church than a well thought-through plan for the children’s work that reflects the strategic significance of children’s ministry. And an effective ministry plan for children will integrate it firmly into the overall strategy of the church. Doing this will not only massively enhance the productiveness of that church’s children’s ministry, but of the whole church as well.
Since its inception in 1993, Teaching and Training Ministries (TnT) has striven to resource and equip people to teach the Bible to children and teenagers more faithfully and more creatively. This involves helping people to understand the need to have an overall plan for children’s and youth ministry — we call this the all-important ‘18-year timeline’.
