Children's Ministries is excited to incorporate Godly Play as our curriculum for children from 3 years through 5th grade. Godly Play is... A curriculum that engages the whole child in creativity and community fellowship An active version of "lectio divina" (biblical meditation) on stories of the Christian tradition A time of playful worship that invites relationship with God At the heart of a Godly Play session is the telling of the story, experienced in the contexts of both the chronology of scripture and the church calendar. Click here to see the current schedule of stories. The storyteller uses simple, beautiful materials to illustrate the story and to engage imagination.

Both the structure of Godly Play and the classrooms themselves offer children a safe space to explore, wonder, and worship. Children have the opportunity to relate Biblical stories to their own experience and to respond personally and creatively to God. We welcome you to observe a Godly Play session during the 10:00 AM, 11:27 AM,or 5:05 PM service hours.
