Children have been invited to participate in ‘The Way’, the Australia Territory’s spiritual focus for 2026.

 

A series of resources – called ‘The Way Kids’ – has been launched by the Children’s Ministries department to support our next generation.

 

Territorial Commander Commissioner Miriam Gluyas said The Way is a united call for the whole movement, including children, to learn to live more deeply in the way of Jesus. 

 

The 11-week resource of child-friendly ministry lessons – for use in Kids Church or Junior Soldiers – covers the five key principles of ‘The Way’: discipleship, mission, evangelism, prayer and spiritual warfare.


 

Australia Territory Children’s Secretary Captain Marty Herring said it’s important to break down the spiritual concepts of ‘The Way’ for children, so they can be part of the movement of God that’s happening across the Army.

 

“The faith of a child is so important to Jesus and the Kingdom of God. It is imperative that we nurture and make room for them to follow Jesus directly,” he said. “The Way Kids invites children to engage with stories of Jesus in learning styles that they can connect with.”


 

The resource is designed to be flexible, with two sessions for each of the five parts of ‘The Way’ and an additional session for prayer.

 

“The first prayer session focuses on talking to God, and the second on hearing from God. Both are important in prayer,” Marty said.

 

“The third prayer session offers some beautiful and creative prayer stations that aim to foster settings where children can talk and listen to God.”

 

He said he hopes the resources will nurture children’s personal relationship with Jesus and encourage them to be part of the mission of Jesus.

 

“Children are vital partners in mission to share the hope of Jesus with their generation.”
