Abstract

In search of a new way to understand children’s ministry in and through the congregation
This article wants to stimulate the development of children’s ministry by trying to give some possible answers on the question: How should we think about children’s ministry in and through the congregation in the context of the 21 century? This question is answered by taking into account the approach that has been developed by Petra College for children’s ministry over the past 20 years. In the first part of the article a few important basic theoretical markers are formulated. In the second part five children’s ministry processes are discussed. Thereafter the connection between the calling and ministries of congregations and these children’s ministry processes are discussed
