Children & Worship Training Events
Children and Worship training is a cooperative ministry of the Reformed Church in America (RCA), the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRC), and The Presbyterian Church in Canada (PCC). A network of trainers offer workshops in worship centers across the United States and Canada.
Using the books Young Children and Worship, by Sonja Stewart and Jerome Berryman; I Wonder...More Bible Stories for Children and Worship, by Janet Schreuder; and Following Jesus: More About Young Children and Worship, by Sonja Stewart, worship leaders are trained through basic training events, enrichment events, and specialized events. Trainers are also available to make introductory presentations to church boards, parent groups, etc.
