What is Global Kids?

Global Kids is a 2-day program run alongside CMS’ Global Mission conference.

At Global Kids, we value encouraging children in their walk with Jesus, faithful Bible teaching, and inspiring them to think globally about long-term cross-cultural mission. Pre-school to Grade 6 are welcome.

Meet Alyson

Children's & Families Coordinator

Hi! I’m Alyson and I have been the Children’s and Families Coordinator for CMS Victoria since 2022.

I love seeing children grow in their faith in Jesus, passion for sharing the good news and their confidence to be part of Gods global mission to see a world that knows Jesus.

I am the mum of 4, mostly grown-up, children and married to Brett. Originally a Secondary teacher I now uses those skills to develop and grow our CMS Global Kids program and Camp Woora-Woora.

When i’m not working on CMS things I can often be found walking on the beach, eating Asian food or wearing something orange! (Possibly all at the same time!)

I cannot wait to welcome your children into Global Kids!

Why is kids' ministry important?

Ministry to children is important for building lifelong disciples of Jesus. Over 40% of adults state that they came to faith in Jesus before the age of 14.

Teaching children to be mission-minded builds a strong foundation for them to grow into lifelong, missional adults who pray, care, give and go.
