Coffee & Chat: Trauma-Informed Children’s Ministry
Tuesday, February 24
9:30am
- 11:00am
Ministry to children is not just about what we teach—but how we create spaces where kids feel safe, seen, and supported. As churches serve children and families navigating stress, loss, anxiety, and trauma, understanding how trauma impacts behavior, learning, and faith formation has become essential.
At this Coffee & Chat, we’ll explore what it means to take a trauma-informed approach to children’s ministry. Through thoughtful conversation and practical insight, you’ll learn how to foster environments that are predictable, compassionate, and responsive—places where children can encounter the love of Christ without fear or shame. We’ll discuss common signs of trauma in children, how it may show up in ministry settings, and simple, realistic ways churches can respond with care and wisdom.
This gathering is ideal for children’s pastors, senior ministers, volunteers, and anyone who works with kids or families in the local church. Whether you’re serving in a large ministry or a small volunteer team, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of trauma-aware practices and renewed confidence in how your church can be a place of healing and hope.
Come enjoy coffee, conversation, and community as we learn together how to better love and support the children God has entrusted to us.
The cost is free—but please register so we know how many cups to brew ☕
