About
The Children's Ministry - Leadership Training Course, taught by Pastor Renan Martinelli, was developed specifically to train men and women from churches who desire to serve with excellence in the spiritual formation of children. With a practical approach grounded in biblical principles, the course offers tools for leadership, organization, and teaching, preparing participants to act creatively, relevantly, and effectively in children's ministry. More than just techniques, this training inspires leaders to understand the importance of investing in the new generation, strengthening the church's foundation and impacting lives from an early age. Pastor Renan Martinelli holds a degree in Theology from FABAPAR and several postgraduate degrees, including Conflict Management, Hermeneutics of New Testament Parables, Children's Ministry, and an Executive MBA in Strategic Marketing Management, Planning, and Competitive Intelligence.
