Roots & Wings

Strengthening the home as a place for faith formation.

“Roots & Wings” is a ministry of the Virginia Synod for families of children from pre-birth through grade 5, based on sheltering and nurturing as well as giving wings to our children.

Our purpose is to enable children to discover and claim their vocation as Ambassadors for Christ.
