Discipling Children & Youth
“Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”
Mark 10:14
every church in our diocese to have a vital ministry to children, youth and families
Discipling children, youth and families is one of the most important priorities for us as a diocese.
We'd love to connect with you so that we can help you begin or build your ministry to children, youth and families.
Our goal is for every church in our diocese to have a vital ministry to children, youth and families and be places where children are welcomed, taught, discipled and fully incorporated into church life.
Priority Team
We would love to hear from you! Our team members are willing to be contacted for any questions related to their area of ministry.
