What do we mean when we say “Faith Formation.” Are we talking about Sunday School, or Confirmation class, or Adult Ed, or Youth Group meetings? Well, the answer is YES, and much more! Faith Formation is an intergenerational, “womb to tomb” approach that “informs, forms, and transforms the person—whether child, youth, or adult—into a robust, vital, and life-giving Christian faith that is holistic: a way of the head, the heart, and the hands.” (From the book Generations Together, by John Roberto.)
Our Christian Education is at the very heart of the church. In the educational process the Spirit of God encounters people of all ages so that they are nurtured in faith, grow in knowledge and experience, and are inspired and empowered to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. (From the web site of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America)
