Your Gift Helps Us Walk With Orthodox Families Through Today’s Challenges

All gifts are matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000 through December 31.

Parents today are facing pressures that simply didn’t exist a generation ago—digital overwhelm, cultural confusion, and constant noise competing for their children’s hearts. Even in the most faithful homes and parishes, families are asking for more support to navigate it all. That’s exactly why Faithtree is creating new resources—to stand with parents and with the Church as we help raise the next generation in Christ. And we can only do that with your support.

Your Gift Directly Fuels the Parenting Resources Families Are Asking For

  • New seasons of the Orthodox Christian Parenting Podcast

  • A parent-focused book to guide families through real-life challenges

  • A small-group resource for families, clergy, and parishes

  • Practical tools parents can use in the middle of daily life

  • Support for clergy as they walk alongside families

“What could be more important than the salvation of our children?”

—Charles Ajalat, Orthodox Vision Foundation Co-Founder

One of the most urgent needs we’re seeing right now? Support for parents.

Parents today face greater challenges than ever in raising children rooted in the Orthodox Faith. They’re navigating technology, identity, mental health, and cultural shifts that change by the week—and they’re asking the Church for help. Your year-end gift helps us respond to this urgent need with compassion and resources families can actually use.

Because of donors like you, Orthodox families across the country are finding support, hope, and guidance.

  • This is the podcast I’ve been waiting for! Raising Orthodox kids in today’s world is no easy task, and the guests offer thoughtful insights and practical tips. I always walk away with a few golden nuggets, sometimes with reassurance that I’m on the right track, and other times with big ‘AHA!’ moments that make me reflect on what I might’ve done differently. Start listening now! It’s truly valuable for parents with children of any age.

  • What I love about the [Orthodox Christian Parenting Podcast] is that the focus is so much on our inner lives. Every time I’m looking for wisdom on how to be a better parent or how to make sure my kids feel loved and secure, the message keeps going back to: How are you modeling kindness and patience and humility and love? And what do you need as a parent to connect with your spirituality and the Kingdom of God inside you?

    Joy, Podcast Listener

  • The Encounter has been a huge blessing in my life as a mother of young children. Having the option to listen to the morning and evening prayers for each day, as well as the Scripture readings, allows me to work Bible reading and prayer into my day, even in a season when it’s not always possible to have a conventional, longer prayer rule. Prayer is the habit we need most, so anything that draws my attention to God and helps me to pray is a gift.

  • Super Saints was a super success for our parish! This curriculum truly has all of the elements you could want in a VBS program, and we had a total blast watching our children thrive learning about their faith and growing in love for each other. We believe the seeds that were planted last summer will reap great rewards for years to come. We got positive feedback across the board from kids, parents, and volunteers! Can’t say enough good things about this program!

  • We have found a treasure in Faithtree Resources. The Relationship Project is crucially important at this time in our lives. It is a wonderful addition to the toolbox of anyone who takes ministry to young people seriously.

  • The Relationship Project was one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. It helped me grow within myself and Christ. This program helped me build confidence with how I approach conflicts in my life and intimacy with friends and family. This program was an eye-opener, and I looked forward to it every week.

  • Lionheart opened the eyes of many of us that attended to the need for the men in our parish to begin to build better relationships and simply to get know each other. It challenged each attendee to look inward and evaluate what it truly means to be a son of God. Since none of us live in a bubble, relationships become that much more important to how we relate to Christ, our families and our fellow man. This program has the potential to change the lives of the men that embrace it!

  • We need to start having real conversations where kids can feel safe, where they can talk about their identity in Christ, and who they are as human beings. This is a great program, but programs don’t save. Relationships save. And this program engages in real relationship building that really draws young people into the love of Christ.

    FR. TOM TSAGALAKIS

  • The beauty of The Relationship Project is that it is rooted in Orthodox theology, but covers the topics that youth are thinking about the most. As a youth worker, I am grateful that The Relationship Project is so user friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to teach the Faith to our young people.

    Alexis P.

  • The Encounter app stands apart because, as an individual who wants to live the Orthodox Christian life, I have things right at my fingertips. The foundation of my daily life is rooted in my prayer life and scripture reading.
