Godly Play

Men and women of all life stages are encouraged to participate in teaching our wonderful Montessori-based program, Godly Play. Storytellers (teachers) and Doorkeepers (assistants) work with the children in a sacred environment of learning and worship. Adult leaders in our program are paired with a partner so that the time commitment is usually 2 Sundays per month.  Training is offered complete with "lesson plans."
