Youth and Children’s Ministry Training Opportunities Available in Dublin
Courses start in September.
The Church of Ireland Youth Department (CIYD) will begin the third year of training for the Aurora Youth Ministry Certificate in September. Meanwhile, CIYD and the Children’s Ministry Network are also launching the Aurora Children’s Ministry Certificate at the same time.
Aurora Youth is a youth ministry training course designed by St Peter’s College in the Diocese of Sheffield. It meets the needs of volunteer youth leaders who have busy lives and no formal youth work qualifications. The ecumenical course is delivered by CIYD and anyone aged 16 or over from any Christian youth work setting is welcome.
Aurora Children is a children’s ministry course from St Peter’s College. It is made up of three modules: Children’s Ministry and the Children’s Leader, Understanding Children and Children’s Ministry Practice and Managing the Ministry.
Six training sessions will run in the Church of Ireland Theological Institute in Dublin and a certificate in Youth or Children’s Ministry from St Peter’s College will be awarded on completion.
Sessions will run monthly on a Saturday from 10am to 4.30pm at the Church of Ireland Theological Institute, Dublin.
