At Children Arise, we believe discipling children isn’t something we are meant to do alone. It takes families, churches, and leaders working together with a shared vision. One of the main ways we help build that kind of unity is through events, workshops, and gatherings that bring people together, build understanding, and spark action. Whether you want to host something, join an event, or simply start a conversation, we’d love to connect.
Workshops & Training
We partner with churches to run practical & engaging workshops that help people grow in confidence when it comes to training up the next generation.
These are not just teaching sessions—they’re meant to help people think differently, make changes, and take action.
Some of the things we often talk about:
Helping children build a strong Biblical worldview so they can understand their place in God’s world and its future
Understanding how education and discipleship fit together
Equipping parents, grandparents, & guardians to guide their children well
Strengthening churches abilities to support families and youth
A history of reformations and how we can participate in bringing God’s kingdom to earth
Every church and community is different, so we work with you to shape something that fits your needs.
Conferences & Gatherings
We also help lead and partner in larger events that bring people together around a shared goal: raising confident children who know who God is and their place in his plan.
Annual Education as Mission Conference
In partnership with CCEM, this conference in Victoria, BC, helps people see how powerful disciple-making education can be in shaping the next generation’s faith and future. These gatherings are a place to:
Catch a bigger vision
Learn practical next steps Meet others who care about the same things
There’s something powerful about being in a room where people are moving in the same direction.
Speaking
We also offer speaking for churches, conferences, and leadership events.
Bruce Friesen brings many years of experience speaking both in Canada and internationally. He communicates with clarity and purpose, helping audiences understand the bigger picture of discipleship and the role they play in shaping the next generation.

Building God’s Kingdom Together
This is bigger than one congregation or organization – we are the global church and incredible things happen when we combine God-given talents and resources to build His Kingdom.
If we want to see children grow strong in their faith, it will take all of us working together.
