Sankofa Faith Children's Initiative

DEDICATED TO NURTURING THE SPIRITUAL GROWTH OF CHILDREN BY CREATING MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERGENERATIONAL WORSHIP.

Fewer children today are actively engaged in faith-based practices.

Many churches struggle to make worship meaningful for young children.

Faith-based experiences shape children’s spiritual, emotional, and psychological well-being for a lifetime.

The Sankofa Faith Children’s Initiative is partnering with faith leaders, parents and guardians, and congregations to build worship spaces where children’s voices, experiences, and faith journeys matter. Be a part of this movement.

Sankofa is a powerful West African concept meaning “to go back and fetch what is valuable.” At the Sankofa Faith Children’s Initiative, we reclaim and uplift the sacred worth of our children by centering them in the life of the church - not as future members, but as fully present participants in worship, prayer, and community.

The Yvette A. Flunder Foundation has received a generous grant to launch the Sankofa Faith Children’s Initiative. This initiative is part of a nationwide effort to reimagine worship and prayer for children across diverse faith communities.
