FaithForm

The FaithForm program will begin by surveying parents and caregivers about their own faith formation and family situations and religious leaders about ministries for parents in their congregations. The program then will organize listening sessions of parents, which will be hosted by congregations, to unpack survey findings and generate insights about common parenting practices. Participating parents and caregivers will form parent circles in local congregations to learn about Christian practices and explore how they can engage in these practices with their children. Parents from the circles will attend annual one-day conferences to share their experiences with one another and discuss practices that were most helpful in sharing their faith with their children. In addition, each congregation will receive support from coaches who will help them reimagine their ministries for parents and families.
