The mission of the Society for Children's Spirituality: Christian Perspectives is to foster research and examine theory related to children's spiritual characteristics, growth, and experiences. Presenters and those who attend represent a wide variety of theological and denominational backgrounds. We dialogue with one another, discuss theory, and share research related to children's spiritual development. Goals of the conference include:

1. Networking with Christians who are currently conducting research and who are writing on children's spiritual development and spiritual formation

2. Providing a forum for the integration of biblical, theological, and social science perspectives on children's spiritual experiences, development, and formation

3. Exploring innovative approaches to children's ministry and providing encouragement
