Bethel Church Children’s Leaders School of Transformation is an opportunity for those who are called into children’s ministry to connect with children’s leaders who lead children into an encounter with God. Making the transition from traditional children’s ministry to a signs and wonders culture requires learning how to think differently about the way that we lead this generation. We offer leadership in the areas of Christian schools, pre-school and nursery, sozo for children, and developing identity in the individual child. We also will introduce leading children in areas such as worship, healing, prophecy and prayer, as well as developing a children’s school of ministry.
