What is Barnabas?

Barnabas is BRF's Children's Ministry. It provides a growing range of resources for church-based leaders and primary school teachers who work with children up to the age of 11. Alongside the books we have a professional and experienced Barnabas ministry team ready to help you in practical ways as your church seeks to respond to the call to share the good news with children.

Our aim is both to support the nurture and worship of those children already linked to your church groups and to work with you in evangelistic initiatives beyond the church walls. in addition, we provide positive support and good training for your leaders.

You can find out more about Barnabas on the Barnabas in Churches website. On this site you can view a large range of off-the-peg ideas for your children's group as well as a range of books and resources.
