Heavenly Host is a structured program based on the Angelic Ranks, providing age-appropriate activities for 8 to 18 year-old Orthodox Christians.
Sometimes kids want to learn more about their faith, but they don’t always know how. Church school is usually only one day a week. Sometimes parents don’t know how to encourage their kids to participate in the richness that is the Orthodox faith.
The Heavenly Host program helps to provide structure and positive reinforcement. Kids study on their own, or with their friends and family, while their parents encourage them and monitor their progress. Periodically the parish gathers and recognizes the kid’s achievements and presents them with pins to show what they’ve accomplished. This is the Heavenly Host program in a nutshell.
It’s initiated by the kids, monitored by the parents and supported by the parish!
