Children’s Resources
- Godly Play – The program, created by Jerome W. Berryman, takes a Montessori based approach to help children experience spiritual practice and language in addition to learning beginning Bible stories. Children learn to locate themselves within the stories through crafting their own creative responses to lessons. By the end of the program, children come to view themselves as part of the tribe who share these stories.
