New CMI Module Now Online!

The CMI Online team has been diligently working to create a training option for people who minister to children and cannot attend the Children's Ministries Institute or local training. We are very excited to announce the launch of a new course – Understanding Today’s Child.

Students who successfully complete this course online will receive credit toward the on-campus CMI diploma program and various certificates. If you are a CEF worker needing to complete your CMI training, here is your opportunity to take the week 2 module in the comfort of your own home!

Children today are growing up in a world that is incredibly complex and ever-changing. For an effective ministry, children’s ministry leaders must have insight into the child’s unique problems and an understanding of how to meet his/her needs in the classroom, one-on-one and as part of their overall ministry. Join us or encourage someone you know to join us for this practical and effective course online this September!!

Course Dates: September 13-November 21, 2009
Registration Open: August 15-30
SPACE IS LIMITED

Emphasis in this course is placed on the role of the children’s ministry leader/teacher in helping children to develop physically, socially, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Students will also learn ways to effectively minister to children dealing with the effects of divorce, abuse, natural disasters and death of a close relative or friend. In addition, students will learn how to teach children from various religious backgrounds.

Individual and group assignments along with community forum discussions allow students to interact with the curriculum on both a personal and interpersonal level. As well, project assignments provide the students with practical tools that can be directly used in ministry.
