Board of Directors

If you are interested in supporting the mission of the Godly Play Foundation on the Board of Directors, you can learn more through our position description. In addition to seeking a greater diversity of life experiences and denominational backgrounds, we are particularly seeking those with experience in financial, development, retail management and legal matters as they relate to nonprofit organizations. While we welcome Godly Play practitioners, this isn't a requirement for service. We also welcome those who know and value Godly Play regardless of setting and who share our commitment to honoring the centrality, competency and capacity of children. Contact us for more information or to speak to someone about possible Board service.
