The diocese’s children and youth ministry, led by the Rev. Canon Jana Sundin, offers assistance and resources to anyone helping to shape young people in the Christian faith. If you are interested in Godly Play or other Christian formation curricula, give us a call. If you want to deepen your experience as a trainer or group leader, we can help out by recommending workshops. If you are looking into summer camp opportunities, we have you covered there as well. We can also fill you in on diocesan policies for concerning nursery codes, youth helpers, background checks, and our Policy for the Protection of Children, Youth, and Vulnerable Adults. And if you are wondering about campus ministries, we can help you there, too.
