Grow Christians

Welcome to Grow Christians

 At Grow Christians, we believe that faith is a journey best shared together. Here, we nurture our spiritual growth as a community, celebrating God’s presence in all the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life. From inspiring reflections and practical resources to family-friendly recipes and activities, Grow Christians offers something for everyone seeking to live out their faith at home. Together, we explore ways to bring joy, hope, and gratitude into daily life, building a foundation of faith that thrives through each season and grows with every shared experience.

About Us

We strive to create an online community of discipleship focused on   the practical details of life at home. Gathering reflections, stories, images, and recipes from diverse Episcopalians, this group blog inspires generations to come together as they celebrate the presence of God through the Christian year.

We are incredibly grateful for the invaluable support and collaboration that make Grow Christians possible. Housed within the Department of Lifelong Learning at Virginia Theological Seminary, Grow Christians continues to flourish in an environment dedicated to nurturing faith. The Lifelong Learning Department is committed to providing resources, guidance, and opportunities for growth, supporting individuals and families as they deepen their understanding and practice of faith at every stage of life. Grow Christians is supported by a team committed to strengthening spiritual foundations within homes and communities. With the partnership of Faith-filled Families, a 5 year initiative generously funded through Lilly Endowment Inc., awarded to Virginia Theological Seminary, Grow Christians strives to make a lasting impact on families seeking to live out their faith together.

These resources have been selected to assist Christians of every generation to grow in faith together.
