Tonight is the night! Join us!

Our monthly zoom resource call for the CBF Children's Ministry Network is Tuesday, March 24 at 7 pm!

We will be hearing from Dr. David Adams from BSK's Tending Program. Tending is a program offering congregation-centered theological education via a lifelong learning approach — supporting the work of lay, multi-vocational and full-time ministers.

Tending provides a wide range of resources for churches for lay leaders, bi-vocational pastors, and full time ministers. It covers topics rom finance, church administration, deacon ministry, to youth, children, worship and pastoral care ministries and more.

There are also “tenders,” experienced and well-trained mentors to walk alongside congregations and their leaders to help understand their unique context and connect them with the most helpful Tending resources.

We hope you will join us on Tuesday to learn more. This call is open to anyone. You do not have to be a member of the network to attend.
