Inspirational and relevant training for children and families ministry
WAY2GO annual conferences and local trainings designed around your needs provide innovative and effective ideas for children’s ministry in New Zealand.

Annual conferences.
One-day WAY2GO Conferences in the second term of every year provide inspiring, relevant and effective ideas for children’s ministry along with opportunity for fellowship and networking. The workshop-based conference covers topics for preschool, primary, family and all-age ministry. WAY2GO will equip you to help children grow in their faith - whether you work in church, community-based programmes, kids clubs, school settings or camps.

Customised local training.
As well as our WAY2GO conferences we hold smaller customised local training events called WAY2GO Focused.
Contact us about customised or upcoming WAY2GO Focused events.
Ask us to run a WAY2GO Focused children and families’ ministry training programme in your own church at a time that suits you. You choose the workshops and provide the venue and morning and afternoon tea. We will do the rest! Talk to us on freephone 0508 423 836 or email us at way2go@sunz.org.nz
