Iniciativa de Pastoral Infantil Inclusiva de la CBF

Thanks to a generous grant from Lilly Endowment Inc, CBF invites you to join a new Fellowship-wide emphasis on nurturing children through worship and prayer.

Las tres áreas principales en las que se centra Thriving Children son:

1. Safeguarding children through training and ensuring your church has safe physical spaces.

A safeguarding training is a pre-requisite for all congregations wishing to participate in other areas of the grant. Contact Jay Kieve (jkieve@cbf.net) for more information about safety training opportunities for your church.

2. Resourcing congregations to welcome families with children on spectrum of neurodivergence.

3. Resources for creative worship and spiritual formation.

Micro Grants

The Thriving Children initiative is offering “micro” grants to congregations to implement new or enhance existing practices that focus on the major Thriving Children objectives.

Neurodivergence Videos

The Neurodivergence 101 series invites faith communities into compassionate conversation about neurodivergence, identity and inclusion. Use the discussion guide to reflect together on how your congregation can better support all persons in connecting with worship and prayer practices.

For questions or more support in using these resources please email Kelly Adams, Director of Clergy Support (kadams@cbf.net).
