Our First Cohort
January 2026!
We joyfully launched our first GrowthRings Learning Community in January 2026, welcoming leaders from a rich diversity of congregations across denominations, church sizes, and Spanish-speaking communities. United by a shared commitment to invest in the next generation, participants are reimagining how children can be more fully welcomed into corporate worship and how parents can be equipped to nurture faith at home. Early conversations have been marked by energy, collaboration, and a deep passion for strengthening ministry with children and young families.
Coming This Spring
New Tools for Churches & Families
Coming this spring: short, creative, story-driven videos designed to help families practice faith in everyday life.
These videos will be ideal for:
-
Sunday worship services
-
Christian parenting classes
-
Parent encouragement and support

January 2028!
What’s Next

We look ahead with anticipation for a second cohort to begin in January 2028, which will build on previous work while expanding our vision to more fully include children with disabilities.
More information coming soon!
Want to learn more or get involved?

We’d love to connect with you, answer questions, and share what participation could look like for your church team.
