Looking at the present Looking towards the future Creating a viable, forward-looking vision for our
ministry as discipleship with, by and for children across Europe.
Accompanying children on their faith journey Thinking as, living as and being a lifelong disciple
Accompanying children on their faith journeyThinking as, living as and being a lifelong disciple Accompanying: creating a space in our children’s
ministry for children’s own spirituality and own expressions and experiences to be at the forefront of our ministry.
Faith journey: is a lifelong journey. Children are disciples, human beings, subjects with equal worth, rights and not deficient and incomplete objects. To accompany, enable and equip children on their faith journey, is a big challenge to those who deliver children’s ministry.
To think, to live and to be disciples: What does it mean in today’s world and for our children as disciples?
