Bite-sized youth and children's ministry training
Welcome to manna. The new bite-size Youth and Children’s ministry training programme from The Dicoese of Chelmsford and The Salvation Army Essex and Herts Division. manna is open to anyone involved (or wishing to become involved) in youth and children’s ministry regardless of denomination.
manna is designed to feed you in your ministry with children and young people in a way that gives you the sustenance you need.
On this website you’ll find an overview of our upcoming training dates alongside our menu.
We have designed this programme as a menu because there are different ways to engage with this programme depending on how hungry you are.This ranges from individual one-off sessions (nibbles) to taking a particular pathway (set menu) or committing to an ongoing, long term journey that fits your needs (buffet option).
We hope and pray that this new modular approach to training will support you in your ministry amongst children and young people.
