Grow Christians is an online community of disciples engaged in the critical work of deepening the faith of children in their care. Several times a week, members of our community share insights from their lived experiences of raising and ministering to children, as well as ideas on how to celebrate the liturgical year at home. We understand that this work  must be done in community, as no one person has all the answers or resources. We are all in this together.

We are incredibly grateful for the invaluable support and collaboration that make Grow Christians possible. Initially founded as a ministry of Forward Movement, Grow Christians is now housed within the Department of Lifelong Learning at Virginia Theological Seminary and 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.
