We’re excited to announce the launch of the official website for Pathways to Prayer & Practice, the Diocese of Virginia’s bold, five-year initiative supported by Lilly Endowment Inc. to help churches more fully welcome children into worship and empower families in their faith journeys.
Explore the site now. It’s your central hub for all things Pathways, including:
- A clear overview of the initiative and its goals.
- A Cohort Application page where churches can apply for the first round of participation.
- A growing Stories & Updates section highlighting reflections from across the Diocese.
- A Stay Connected page to offer feedback, ask questions, or get involved.
We’re building a community of congregations who are curious and creative. Whether you’re a clergy person, lay leader, or parent eager to help children grow in faith, this site is the starting point.
What’s Next
- Cohort applications are open now — apply to be part of the first group of churches exploring new ways to nurture children in worship.
- Visit the Pathways booth at Diocesan Convention — stop by to learn more, ask questions, and pick up a few surprises.
- Begin conversations in your parish: How might you help children lead, pray, and grow in your worship life?
- Take a moment to explore the site and share it with your congregation. Got a story, idea, or question? Head to the Stay Connected page. We’d love to hear from you!
