Godly Play Core Training is the most comprehensive training for the Godly Play method and theology. This is the recommended training for every adult leading Godly Play sessions, for administrators, and for clergy. Over the course of three days, participants experience all aspects of the Godly Play method and begin to become fluent in the Godly Play core stories and fundamental practices. Additionally, Godly Play's guiding Theology of Childhood is introduced, so participants become more deeply connected to their work. Core Training follows an action/reflection model of learning.
This is a Commuter Core Training, held over three Saturdays (9am-5pm): November 16 (2024), January 11 and March 8 (2025). Refreshments will be provided each Saturday, and participants should bring a lunch.
Commuter modules may be attended in any order or location. Participation in all 3 modules constitutes Core Training Certification. You may need to register separately for each module.
The cost for the full series of three Saturdays is $250; each Saturday module individually is $100.
