Resources for Children and Families
Resources to help you reach out to Children and Families
We value and respect the role of children in society and in our churches. We note the value that Jesus placed on children and commit ourselves to help children discover a meaningful relationship with Jesus by sharing the gospel in an appropriate and unpressured way. Christian children are so much more than the church of tomorrow. We believe in helping children grow in faith and discover all the joys of discipleship.
We have produced our own Children's Charter below and you can view or download our Children's contacts at RMS here.
We estimate that there are two million children living in UK villages, scattered housing and small market towns. Many of the churches in these rural areas lack an effective programme for sharing the gospel with children and developing discipleship.
Our objective in our children's ministry is to help as many rural churches as possible to develop and maintain appropriate child friendly programmes.
Ideally we seek to do this through partnerships either with existing denominational human resources or possibly through a partnership with other organisations with a similar vision. We welcome contact from any individual, church, groups of churches, or organisation that would like to explore this further.
We often post videos and resources to support children's work. To keep up to date, we recommend signing up to our newsletter (which you can do at the bottom of this screen), follow us on Facebook or revisiting our website again soon.

If you have a heart for rural mission and share our vision, then we'd love to hear from you. Why not prayerfully explore ways in which you could share in this ministry, either as a church or individually.
