Welcome to Grow
CDM’s mission is to strengthen the Church through connections. Through articles, podcasts, and resources we want to help connect you with people and tools that will help you in ministry.
Ministry to children can often feel lonely, but we hope this site will be a place that will encourage you and equip you for a lifetime of investing in the next generation. You are part of God’s covenant community and your investment in the little ones really does matter to God.
Check back often for new posts and updated resources.

Welcoming Children with Special Needs into Corporate Worship
Welcoming Children with Special Needs into Corporate Worship On the surface, it seems like a no-brainer that we would welcome children with special needs to the regular worship of God’s people.

Building Little Pillars In The Faith

Winter in South Florida ushers in an opportunity for its sweaty residents to throw open [...]
