This Guide to planning faith formation helps you think systemically about what we need to do in faith formation to address the challenges of today. 

The Guide suggests three perspectives to guide planning - #1. Think Systemically about Faith Formation, #2. Plan in a Three-Year Timeframe, and #3. Build Capacity - and five examples of systems-level suggestions for creating faith formation that addresses the big challenges we face today: 
​
  1. Expanding hybrid approaches to involve more people with time- and schedule-friendly programming, reach more people through different learning formats, promote more engaged learners, and find multiple ways to use the programming we create. 
  2. Creating seamless family faith formation from birth to high school graduation we strengthen the primary faith forming community and support parents in providing religious socialization at home. 
  3. Strengthening the intergenerational fabric of the faith community to create relationships and faith forming experiences among all generations, providing an important context for all ages to grow in faith and discipleship. 
  4. Creating a menu of faith forming experiences to address the diversity of people’s learning needs and religious-spiritual needs, overcoming the limitations of the one-size-fits-all approach. 
  5. Building “front porch” experiences to provide spaces to engage with people and build relationships out in the community.
