Everyday Godly Play

Reimagining Godly Play

Reimagining Godly Play

The Everyday Godly Play project invites us to move beyond the walls of the church into the home, supporting parents and caregivers with resources to nurture their children’s spirituality through wonder, narrative, rhythm, and play.

Circles of Support

As a multi-dimensional initiative, Everyday Godly Play expands our resources to help parents and caregivers through their faith communities, building circles of support with religious educators, clergy, and other families.

The overarching goals of this project are to:

  • Empower parents and caregivers to foster a sustainable and integrated family spirituality in their relationships with their children by providing access to resources, courses, storytelling materials, and community support. 

  • Equip religious education professionals to imagine and implement innovative models
    for empowering and equipping parents and caregivers to sustain an integrated and embedded family spirituality. 

  • Support clergy and church leadership in cultivating a faith community that embraces and
    promotes a holistic approach to ministry centered on the spiritual needs of children and families.

Book Study for Religious Educators & Clergy

Join us in a 4-part book study journey exploring Intentional Leadership: In-Between Seasons by Sarah B. Drummond, PhD, Founding Dean of Andover Newton Seminary at Yale Divinity School.

In our workshop series, we will learn different perspectives on leadership in a liminal, in-between season and consider how you, too, must change inside and out to meet change’s challenges. By the end of our time together, you'll discover the necessity for adaptation in leadership styles, strategies, and attitudes to effectively navigate change. You'll leave empowered to embrace change with confidence and clarity.
