WONDERFULLY MADE TO CONNECT

A Christ-Centered Healing Community for Children and Families

Wonderfully Made to Connect is a Christ-centered ministry focused on restoration and belonging offering joyful, Scripture-rooted social recreation experiences where children and families grow in connection, belonging, and identity.

Rooted in 2 Samuel 9:3–7 and Psalm 139:14, this ministry reflects the heart of Jesus — welcoming children, restoring identity, and nurturing healing through faith-filled community.

WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS

Wonderfully Made to Connect is a faith based social recreation program. It creates intentional space for children and caregivers to practice connection together through meaningful activities rooted in Scripture, worship, creativity, and real community life.

This program supports connection and relational growth through thoughtfully designed, relational experiences while keeping Christ at the center of all that we do.

Labs are devotional gatherings designed with connection and relationship at heart. Intentional activities invite communication, shared participation, and Christ-centered interaction.

While specific activities within each Lab may change, the purpose remains the same at every gathering: To nurture connection, strengthen identity in Christ, and cultivate joy within a Christ-centered community.

IDENTITY + GROWTH

We acknowledge that some children and families arrive carrying clinical or educational diagnoses, difficult experiences, or words that have shaped identity.

Wonderfully Made to Connect respects clinical understanding, while intentionally anchoring identity first and foremost in Christ.

We do not deny real struggles.
We invite families to bring them honestly, trusting that God sees, God hears, and God restores.

Identity begins when the truth grounded in God’s Word replaces lies that stunt self worth.

FAITH, PARTICIPATION & SAFETY

Wonderfully Made to Connect is not a neutral or secular space. All activities and teachings are intentionally grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture.

Parents and caregivers actively participate alongside their children and are supported as guides and spiritual leaders within their families.

To ensure a safe and joyful experience, participants must be able to engage in a small group setting with caregiver support and participate without behaviors that pose safety risks.

A Christ-Centered Healing Community for Children and Families

Wonderfully Made to Connect is a social recreation ministry, not a clinical therapy program. This program exists to offer a Christ-centered community space where children and caregivers practice connection, belonging, and joyful participation together.

For Families Seeking Additional Support

While this program is designed as a social recreation experience, some families desire additional guidance as they support their child's social growth at home.

Optional parent coaching may be available separately for families seeking individualized support or training in how to reinforce social connection beyond Lab gatherings. Families interested in learning more are welcome to reach out for additional information.

As families explore additional support, it may be helpful to know that the social elements of this program are informed by widely respected frameworks that emphasize peer interaction, friendship development, caregiver involvement, and real-life practice through guided participation.

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

WHERE WE GATHER

Wonderfully Made to Connect gatherings typically take place in community-based settings such as parks and other public spaces that allow for open, joyful participation.

At times gatherings may also occur in private homes by invitation, or in collaboration with churches and ministry partners, or within faith aligned community businesses that desire to open their spaces in welcome.

This reflects our belief that worship is not confined to a building, but lived out daily-carried into homes, neighborhoods, and the places where families already gather.

Locations vary by season and partnership, and details are shared with registered families in advance.
