Certificate Program

One of the challenges facing those called to serve in Children’s Ministry is documenting the training received in our unique field. Establishing credibility can be important when applying for a new role. Also, showing your intentionality in furthering your skills as a leader can go a long way in boosting confidence in and with your leadership.
A recent trend worth celebrating is the number of colleges and universities now training students in our unique calling. What if, however, college training is not an option for you; perhaps, you have already completed your schooling? We have designed a new Certificate Program to serve you.
This new program allows you to earn special recognition for training with a specific focus while at one of our events. This year at CPC we are offering the following two certificate options:
Five Initiatives: Standards for Serving in Children’s Ministry
Spiritual Formation (sponsored by David C Cook)
