Godly Play Training

Barbara McCall – Licensed U.S. Trainer, Godly Play Foundation

Beginning on January 1, 2025, our Director of Children and Families, Barbara McCall, is serving as a Licensed Trainer with the Godly Play Foundation. Barbara is available both locally and throughout the United States to provide guest presentations, official training experiences and other forms of support to churches and children’s formation leaders involved or interested in the Godly Play program.

Having grown up in small parishes in the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas (Church of the Covenant – Junction City and St. John’s – Abilene) and with 10+ years of experience leading Children’s Formation at St. Thomas – Overland Park, one of the largest congregations in the Diocese of Kansas, Barbara brings a wide array of experiences and understands the realities of working in parishes of all sizes and with all ranges of children’s formation budget (if any). She is excited to creatively explore ways to bring this program to life for children and their leaders from a variety of church contexts!
