An Initiative of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia

Welcome

Pathways to Prayer & Practice is a five-year initiative aimed at nurturing children’s faith through worship, equipping families for meaningful faith formation, and fostering a culture of shared learning across the Diocese of Virginia.​

Funded by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, this project invites churches to explore, reflect, and grow in how they welcome children into the heart of worship. Pathways supports parishes through coaching, resources, mini-grants, and a year-long cohort experience rooted in collaboration and creativity.​

Whether you’re a church leader, a parent, or someone passionate about intergenerational ministry, now is the time to learn more, follow along, and step into the Pathways journey with us.
