Children's Programs

Children are an important part of Wellspring. We use a program called The Godly Play®. Godly Play utilizes an open-ended questioning to help children become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives. We value a sense of imagination, wonder, and inclusion. This discovery learning process establishes a foundation for talking about God that will serve them throughout their lifetime.

The time spent in Godly Play® is acknowledged as sacred. It is a ‘carved out’ time from busy schedules to invite children to explore their relationship with God. This learning opportunity includes the telling of the seminal stories of the Bible, taken primarily from the Hebrew texts and the Parables; sharing the feast; and selecting their own individual activities in response to the stories.
