Taster Demonstrations
A taster demonstration (e.g. evening) or a 1 day introduction is a good way to begin. Check with the officers responsible for children's work in the local regional office of your denomination. Many of these people are able to offer a basic introduction at a time and place to suit you. They might also put you in touch with a local church already using Godly Play.One day Introductions
Participants can experience key elements of the Godly Play approach (including one or two stories), see a carefully laid out children's sacred space and explore many of the resources. The group size is small, so ideal for asking all your questions. You can book as an individual or bring your group.
