Our Vision Statement
The Foundation's vision is to create a positive, long-term approach to religion in the world by teaching the Christian religion to children in a way that deeply centers them and keeps them open to others and the future in creative ways.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to nourish the spiritual and moral development of children through training and educating teachers, conducting research, and writing about Godly PlayŽ. We work with adults as well as children within churches, schools, hospitals, families, and varied faith communities. The result of our approach to spiritual formation is playful orthodoxy. The tradition of orthodoxy, when combined with the creativity of play, allows for the integration of what are often thought of as opposites and make room for God to become manifest in the community of children and adults.
