Children and Family Ministries

Children and their families are vital members of our congregations and communities. We are committed to nurturing the spiritual lives of children and their families as well as supporting and resourcing our children and family ministry leaders across the diocese as they create programs, gatherings, and formation opportunities. If you have resources to share, ideas to share, questions to ask, or need help, please reach out to The Rev. Shannon Kelly.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 says “Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
