Faith Formation at Home

Raising children in the Christian faith doesn't just happen on Sunday mornings. Research has shown time and time again that the primary faith teachers for children are their parents and guardians. Here are some resources for integrating faith formation into your family's life outside of St. James. Our Sunday School teachers and Rev. Rowan can give you more ideas if you are interested! 
Building Faith from Virginia Theological Seminary is an excellent blog and resource section to help parents and teachers grow faithful children.

Doing Good Together is a national non-profit that helps connect parents to resources and ideas for raising kids who know the importance of giving back to their community. 
The United Thank Offering has many resources for parents and children to learn about gratitude and practice it together.
