About the Program

Our program seeks to encompass the following three faith-development experiences through mission trips, activities at Family of Christ and in the community, social outings for coffee or lunch, and a wide variety of other opportunities We believe strongly that young people become spiritually-mature when nurtured in a ministry environment where they experience:

-Individual faith development: Discovering their gifts and how God is calling them into service

-Small group faith development: A cohort model for young people and those who have similar passions and learning needs

-Community faith development: Celebrating together, in fellowship and worship, the diversity of talents and gifts and our call to a common mission

Faith Formation Ministry at Family of Christ provides opportunities for young people and adults to be both nurtured in individual spiritual growth and accepted and encouraged in Christian community, outreach, and discipleship. The ministry serves youth in 6th through 12th grades and their families. It's part of the Faith Formation Ministry, which provides resources and programming for living a life of faith.
