In the beginning was the Word…

At first glance, John’s Gospel is made for children’s ministry because of its many concrete images: vine, shepherd, bread, water. But you don’t have to scratch the surface very far before you find deep, complex and immeasurably rich ideas that can be tougher to explain to young ears: being born again, feeding on Jesus, remaining in him (to name just a few!).

John’s Gospel is full of simple language and big concepts. So how do we take the rich delights of John’s Gospel and explain them well to our kids – that they may believe?

Join us for the SMBC 2025 Children’s Ministry Conference, where we will be looking deeply and practically into the Gospel of John, along with other key issues in ministry with children and their families.

This conference will be held simultaneously on two campuses. The content at each campus is identical.
1. SMBC Croydon Campus, 43 Badminton Road, Croydon 2132, and
2. SMBC Roberts-Dale Campus, 150 Croydon Avenue, Croydon Park 2133

As part of your registration, please choose one campus to attend, one 12.50pm seminar and one 12.25pm seminar. Please choose carefully as seminars often sell out and can't easily be changed.
