St. Andrew Lutheran Church

St. Andrew Lutheran Church aims to encourage the 1,500 congregations in the network to let the children lead the way in renewal of spiritual practice, prayer, song, and story. Church Anew staff will convene twenty-four, interdisciplinary experts and practitioners to design solutions and resources that help congregations reclaim wonder through spiritual practices of prayer and intergenerational worship. 18 children's ministers will be invited to join a Coaching Circle with coaching, retreats with creative peers, and an opportunity to shape a pilot experiment with micro-grant funding. Webinars, Workshops, and Conferences will train preachers, teachers, pastors, and leaders in child-centered worship through ecumenical networks, seminaries, faith communities, and judicatories nationwide.
