    • WHAT IS LIFELONG FORMATION? 

      Faith Formation is a life-long process for the whole family. We strive to offer meaningful formation for families in all life stages from infancy through young adulthood according to the following priciples:

      • Bible-Centered - Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.
      • Family-Integrated - We are honored to support parents as the primary catechists of their families.
      • Developmentally Appropriate - We want to present the Gospel authentically and in a way you can receive it.
      • Volunteer Friendly - We want your volunteer experience to be fulfilling and with clear guidance and support. 
      • Rooted in Prayer - We must be disciples in order to make disciples.
