Godly Play is a Montessori-based teaching philosophy that helps children become aware of God’s presence in the world. Through visual storytelling, children learn about biblical events and parables. They then “practice” understanding Christian faith by expressing themselves through a group conversation about what they just heard (called “wondering”) and/or art.
There are two Godly Play classes – one for children in a pre-k 5 program or kindergarten, and another for children in first and second grades. While both classes hear Old and New Testament stories in chronological order, the older group listens to a more in-depth telling of the stories of our faith.

Our curriculum for pre-teens called Connect, helps middle schoolers make sense of the Bible by revisiting the Bible’s greatest stories and uncovering major biblical themes.
