Faith Formation for All Ages
2020-2021

God is doing a new thing in and through us, and we look forward to growing together. We are offering a hybrid schedule this school year, including in-person and online small group meetings, as well as activities to do as a family. This includes Preschooler and Parent, Elementary Ministry, Confirmation, Peer Ministry, and Adult Study

What does this Hybrid Schedule look like?

With our hybrid schedule, age- specific small groups are scheduled to meet in person at church once a month and on Zoom once a month. For two weeks of the month, we provide Faith Formation Playlists to offer families a variety of options to choose from for their home-based faith practices. Groups will be scheduled around families' availability. Register here. 

What is a Faith Formation Playlist? 

"A faith formation playlist is a curated group of digital (online, video, audio, print) faith forming content and experiences on specific themes or topics that is published on a webpage for each access and learning.  Each playlist provides a variety of ways for people to learn and grow in faith." (www.lifelongfaith.com) 

These playlists allow families to tailor their home-based faith practices to their needs, interests, and family member ages.

We know that many of you may not have much experience with home-based faith practices, and that's ok! You don't need to be the expert, but just to commit to learning and growing together as a household. Here are a few resources to help you out.
