Training for volunteers
Cranmer Hall Certificate in Theology, Ministry and Mission (focus on Children’s or Youth Ministry)
Our vision for this pathway is training students to enable children and young people to grow in their faith and develop their discipleship.
In this certificate, students will be given the opportunity to deepen their theological understanding and develop their practical skills. The range of modules will not only help students to grow in their own faith and discipleship, but also help them to play a key part in enabling our local churches to grow younger and more diverse. Alongside a solid grounding in theological study, one third of the certificate will be directly exploring ministry with children and young people.

Engagement with Children’s Youth and Family Minisstry
This module moves from understanding to engagement. Students will evaluate various historical and contemporary models for such ministry and reflect upon their own ‘inherited’ patterns of practice with a view to gaining practical, biblical and theological strategies for engaging effectively with children, youth and families in church, school and community contexts.
