  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Help with parental supervision?

    AjayCTN, I like the idea of the letter for parents, instructing them to join their child in the Kids Ministry. I am thinking, at this stage, that I might just accept thigns where they are at. I'll request/expect the front 2 rows of seats to be "reserved" and the KM leaders and ALL the kids can...

    Help with parental supervision?

    Our Kids Church has about 80-100 kids. (small church here in comparison to the big city churches!) We have a dedicated team of enthusiastic (and exhausted!) leaders who dedicate a large portion of their time to leading, teaching and loving these kids. OUr church service starts at 10am and goes...

    Teaching 2 year olds

    I now co ordinate the childrens ministry in our church, but prior to that I led the Under 5's class. My focus, as their leader, is to give them the knowledge and experiences they need to come to Christ when they are old enough to make such a decision. And I think with such little ones, it's...

    Lack of support from the church?

    Thanks for all your support and advice! It's nice - but sad - to know I'm not alone! I like the idea of offering Kids Church once a fortnight, or 3 weeks out of 4 or similar. That will solve the immediate issues on a short term basis. MrDave, your comment on being more of a Mary and less of...

    Lack of support from the church?

    Hi! We joined our church 2 years ago, and almost immediately I became involved in Childrens Ministry by leading the Under 5's group. Six months ago the Sunday School Co ordinator left the church, and with no one else willing or available, I stepped up to co ordinate the Childrens Ministry...

    Songs with hand motions?

    Our Kids Church have started using some of the songs by Vineyard UK Kids - and the best part was the children making up their own actions after listening to the words! It meant that they actually paid attention to what the words said, and then thought of an action which suited the words. So far...

    Names for Kids Church Groups? Children's Ministry Name Ideas

    Hi there! I'm really new to Kids Church, and really new to this forum! I've taught a small class of pre-schoolers for a long time, but have just taken on the whole Childrens' Ministry in our growing church - and started up a Kids Church in the last few weeks. Aside form feeling incredibly...
