Making Connections: Kids, Faith, and Justice - online workshop for church leaders & volunteers
Sunday, May 03, 2026, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Donegal Presbytery is excited to host this online workshop exploring ways to talk about injustice with children in the church. Church leaders, Christian Educators, children's ministry volunteers, and all who care about nurturing young people's faith are invited!
“Love your neighbor” is a commandment that most kids are familiar with. It opens imaginations to dream of the many ways they can show God’s love in the world. What can church leaders do with all that potential? They can help kids dream even bigger by learning the connection between loving their neighbor and God’s justice. They can help kids understand that working to address injustices in the world is an expression of their faith. They can help kids begin to do that work themselves.
This webinar will guide leaders to explore how to talk about injustices with kids in a faith setting. It will cover why talking about injustices with kids is theologically and pedagogically important and suggest practical strategies for how to add justice into programs. The workshop will discuss how to respond to fears that talking about injustices is “political” or not appropriate for children and how the methods of talking about injustices with kids can be productive with adults as well.
This comprehensive, hope-filled workshop will help congregations move forward, hand in hand with their youngest disciples, down the path of doing justice, loving kindness and walking humbly with God.
The workshop will be led by Sara Pantazes, Director of Faith Formation at First Presbyterian Church of West Chester.
