For Children's Ministry

We feel that for too long, children's ministry has been severely under-resourced in our churches - With many children ministry leaders being left to find their own way in what is a crucial ministry to the life of any congregation. The Method is our response to this problem. We aim to provide a wide array of accessible resources that may be used by local youth groups, of any size. This is ​The Method - For Children's Ministry.
