The Hatching Faith Cohort program is designed to help churches more fully engage and include children in worship and prayer. Registration is open now for Cohorts 4 & 5, which will run simultaneously, joining together in a Kick-off Event in Spring 2027. The registration link as well as FAQs, cohort timeline, and contact information, can be found at vaumc.org/hatchingfaith.
Here’s what children and churches from cohorts are saying:
- “Before Hatching Faith, we were swimming upstream”
- “It’s different when children aren’t performing in worship, but they are comfortable in worship”
- “We are being more intentional now”
- “When we try to make worship accessible for children, we engage adults more as well”
- “She insists that she goes to church on Sunday mornings”
Don’t miss your chance to be part of the upcoming cohorts! Registration closes February 14, 2027. For more information, contact Hannah Bryn (Hannahbryn@vaumc.org) or Jennifer Coffey (jennifercoffey@vaumc.org). We can also connect you with churches from Cohorts 1, 2 & 3 if you’d like to hear about their experiences.
