Godly Play is an imaginative approach to supporting the spiritual lives of children and the adults who nurture them.
Through story, wonder, and deep play we invite children of all ages to come close to the mystery of God.
Whether you are a leader in a religious institution, a chaplain in a children's hospital or school, or a parent longing for an open way of engaging your children in their spiritual lives, we are here to support you!
