The Worshiping with Children program will help congregations more fully and intentionally engage children in worship by cultivating visually engaging spaces and offering tactile experiences in worship. Phillips will form cohorts of congregations that will learn together as they design and test ways to draw on the arts to enhance their liturgies and worship spaces and to foster intergenerational worship. Participating congregations may apply for small grants to work with artists-in-residence to assist in implementing their projects. The seminary also will host three-day retreats for worship leaders to equip them to incorporate children more fully into congregational worship.
