Godly Play

Mason Cruz is the Minister for Children and Youth at Christ Church Christiana Hundred. He graduated from Eastern University with a B.A. in Youth Ministry, with minors in Psychology and Biblical Studies. He has a strong passion for youth and children’s ministry and has been working in this field professionally for about 4 years. Recently, Mason completed training and certification in the Godly Play curriculum, where he gained valuable insights into children's faith development and its significance.

Godly Play is a Montessori-based, multisensory, hands-on, imaginative approach to nurturing the spiritual lives of children. It includes three story genres: Sacred Stories, Parables, and Liturgical Action. The curriculum invites students to engage in the stories through wondering and work, with new stories presented each week.
