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.
If selected, our church commits to sending a team of participants, as described in the Quicksheets, to the Font & Faith Summit. I acknowledge the date of the applicable Summit listed below.
