Program longevity corresponds directly to number of well-trained Godly Play leaders. Because Godly Play is a dynamic, spiritual practice, training is essential to every Godly Play program.

We recommend that all adults in the Godly Play room attend Core Godly Play training before beginning to teach Godly Play. Core training equips Storytellers and Doorpersons with the skills and processes to lead Godly Play sessions with children.

Administrators such as clergy and Christian Ed Directors will also benefit from attending Core training, especially when setting up a Godly Play room. Core training highlights the main theology of Godly Play, which allows administrators creating the Godly Play environment to maintain theological integrity when working through hurdles such as the constraints of the physical space or the timing of Godly Play sessions in the worship schedule.

An investment in trained adults leads to an energy and enthusiasm that can result in more successful fundraising, and ultimately a thriving program led by adults who understand the work of mentoring children's spirituality and its importance in the church and the world.
