Abstract: Abstract This article seeks to understand the influence of religion/spirituality on services provided and on the governance of faith-based civil society organizations during the Covid-19 pandemic. 22 coordinators of 17 Brazilian organizations that work in the governance of children's rights at the local level are interviewed. The results point to organizational expressions of religiosity, added services, and developed communication and networking capabilities. The research highlights the religion/spirituality dimension in network governance between different actors and the community, characterized by interdependence and intersectionality, and discusses contradictory factors that increase or decrease governance capacity.
