Children's Ministry in Partial Reopening

For more support resources, visit crcna.org/COVID19.

The resources included on this page are intended to strengthen and encourage the Church as we navigate partial reopening, in all the stages between "total lockdown" and "total reopening" of physical buildings. We will continue to update this post with relevant, trusted resources as we become aware of them. Please feel free to check back here often.

• The two-page resource Reopening Children’s Ministry in a COVID-19 World will help your congregation ask the right questions as you plan when and how to reopen.

• Watch the recording of an online roundtable conversation on reopening children’s ministry hosted by Faith Formation Ministries. 

• Gain some inspiration from the blog post How Your Children’s Ministry Can Emerge Stronger and Better After COVID-19

• DWELL Digital during COVID-19: how CRC churches can share DWELL children’s ministry curriculum with parents for free

• Check out the blog post Turning Children's Ministry Upside Down for practical ways children's ministry leaders can empower parents with faith formation experiences, whether meeting in person or not.
