- A highly recommended course for all those who work with children.
- A highly recommended course for teams of children’s leaders in a corps to learn and journey together.
Course duration
The modules can be worked through at your own pace.
There is a comprehensive resource list of additional content for those wishing to deepen their learning in a specific area.
Connecting with other children's leaders
While the course can be completed at your own pace, Youth & Children's Ministries want to create a learning community to share experiences and knowledge.
There will be six cohorts a year starting in January, March, May, July, September and November.
As part of a learning community, delegates will be invited to an online conversation to share learning. They will also be invited to join a private Facebook group to share experiences and resources going forward and stay connected as local children’s leaders.
Children’s leaders who complete RAISE will be encouraged to join the bi-monthly online Children’s Leaders’ Network for ongoing learning.
