Programs in Beacon’s Lifespan Ministry are designed to build resilient, confident, and compassionate children and youth. Using a child- and youth-centered approach, gathering in small groups, participants engage in uncovering shared values, deeper reflection, exploring beliefs, and sharing within a community of peers and mentors.

“What emerges is a sense of belonging, a commitment to justice, and an open, respectful questioning of others and oneself,” said Dr. Tuli Patel, Executive Director and Lifespan Ministry Team Lead at Beacon.
