The Children Matter website is the online incarnation of the children’s ministry magazine, “KidsWise” which has served the needs of leaders across Australia (and beyond) for many years. Children Matter is committed to providing current articles, ideas and resources for those working with children and families, especially in outreach settings. All material is written by leaders in the ‘front line of ministry’ from a range of contexts within Australia and is designed for use by SUPA Club leaders, chaplains, children’s ministry leaders, mission leaders, RE teachers and so on.

Children Matter focusses on 14 different categories that represent core elements of the planning and presentation of a children’s ministry program. The site strives to maintain a balance between the principles behind the practise of ministry and the practical tools to implement.

New content will be added to each category regularly with all articles being archived for easy access. Subscribers who sign up to Children Matter will receive an email each month with a summary of the new articles uploaded and direct links back to this site.

Children Matter is just one of the Channels within Max7 that provides a specific focus while at the same time exposing visitors to the vast array of resources available in the whole site.

This Children Matter website is an Australian version of the original website developed in the UK and operates with their endorsement. Visit http://childrenmatter.ning.com

Children Matter provides an opportunity to share the creativity of our children’s workers so that together we can better serve the needs of children and so build the Kingdom of God.
