Godly Play
  • For kids 3-11 years old
  • Every Sunday during 10:00 am service
  • ​In the Godly Play Classroom (Room 7)
What is Godly Play?  It is not your traditional Sunday School curriculum, where adults are the teachers explaining Bible lessons to the children, then assigning predetermined worksheets or crafts.  Instead, “It involves children and adults, as guides, moving together toward fluency in the art of knowing how to use Christian language to nourish their moral and spiritual development.”  (Berryman, J.W., The Complete Guide to Godly Play, Volume 8, pg. 7.) It is a discovery method of learning, where children are invited to explore and wonder about Scripture, then express what they think and feel through art or play.  This serious play is called their work, and it allows children to create meaning about Scripture for themselves.  For more information, you can visit the Godly Play Foundation website here: Godly Play (godlyplayfoundation.org)
