​Join a Children’s Ministry Network in your Region

Children's Ministry Network groups are gatherings of people involved in children's ministry of all descriptions, across the Christian churches. We meet together for mutual support and encouragement, to share ideas and resources and to enrich our ministry with young people in New Zealand.

​Groups meet regularly around the country. If there are no active groups we will help you find other people in your area to start a group. Get in contact with us!
