Spark Faith at Home Cohort
What is Spark Faith at Home?
Spark Faith at Home with StoryMakers is funded by the Lilly Endowment Inc., through the Christian Parenting and Caregiving Initiative. It offers a supportive community to inspire and equip families.
Participants in the Cohort will receive freebies, which include interactive resources to spark faith through imagination, creativity, story and play. You’ll have a chance to share ideas together and to offer feedback about what actually works for families and young people.
