​Faith Formation Pathways


Presenter: Kathy Pittenger
Picture
The Faith Formation Pathways training is a three-part video series that focuses on how your church or faith forming ministry can create a pathway to invite people into the Christian faith or to grow deeper in their faith. Part One presents the basics of a faith formation pathway. Part Two digs into designing your pathway and provides examples for the different approaches. Part Three focuses on implementing and sustaining a faith formation pathway. At the end of the video series you will be able to describe a faith formation pathway, have seen examples of different models and formats, and have resources for creating, implementing, and sustaining faith pathways for your church.

Faith pathways help people find where they are in their journey and to chart a path for faith growth toward a deeper relationship with Jesus and the life and practices of the Christian community. Chapter Seven in the Lifelong Faith book, "Pathways for Personalizing Faith Formation" ​presents a process for designing a faith formation pathway for a target audience: life stage or life milestone (such as baptism, first communion, confirmation) or event (such as the seasons of the church year). At the end of Chapter Seven are four examples of pathways guides for adults, families, parents, and youth. The document below is a Word version of the four guides to make it easy for you to customize, edit, etc.
