What was your own experience as a child in worship?

What has been your experience worshiping with children?

What has been your experience praying with children?

At this time, what kind of ministry do you think is calling you?

In what ways have your seminary classes prepared you to nurture children and families in worship and prayer?

Following Summits, Font & Faith Initiative participants will join Journey Groups with like-sized congregations and church professionals to strengthen practices that nurture faith with children and families through worship and prayer. Journey Groups convene online, share experiences and insights, learn new practices, and support one another. The insights and experience of the Journey Groups will directly influence the development of resources to strengthen and nurture the faith of children and their families. Summit groups from Year One will reconvene during the final year of the grant.

I acknowledge that participation in Journey Groups and a final Summit is a requirement of participation in the Font & Faith Initiative.

Please select all possible Summit dates below that you could attend. (You will only be asked to attend one.)
