Summary
The latest in the series of Children’s Ministry Guides. This book encourages churches to assess and improve their under 5s ministry – motivating them to consider how they guide their youngest church members along the first steps of their faith journey, support their church families, and reach out to young families in their community.
Chapters cover:
• typical patterns of physical, social, emotional and spiritual development for the five years from birth, and how they should influence the way we mentor young children in their early faith development.
• appropriate environments that will stimulate learning for the age group.
• various settings where churches are likely to be providing for under 5s (including all-age church, church crèche and children’s ministry groups, midweek services for under 5s and carers, church run toddlers groups and playgroups).
• appropriate and effective ways of telling stories and using music, drama, games, crafts etc that will connect with young children and help them learn.
• the opportunity that working with under 5s gives for reaching out to their parents and how the church can offer them support and guidance.
• the responsibilities of under 5s workers and the support they need.
