Description

DO WHAT MATTERS LaCrosse
A two-day training experience for church leaders

February 24 & 25
9am - 3:30pm


How are faithful Christian disciples formed today?
What sustains them through a lifetime?
How can congregations make a real difference?


ABOUT #VFDWM

The approaches we’ve used in the past are no longer adequate in today’s digital, individualized, highly secularized culture. Yet, some innovative approaches to highly relational discipling are showing promise. The new efforts covered in this training will help your congregation create authentic Christian community that beckons persons of all ages—children, youth, adults—into an exciting journey of both faith and religious practice.

This interactive training experience seeks to help leaders imagine and implement effective faith formation practices for today and for future generations. Anchored in recent research, propelled by the urgent need for change, yet tempered by decades of leadership in the field, VFM trainers will guide participants toward:
  • understanding the profound cultural changes affecting faith development processes today
  • exploring the process of faith transmission from generation to generation through the extended family and congregational systems
  • experiencing and developing innovative congregational approaches that apply the essential faith-forming processes to people of all ages
  • developing a practical plan for the future of faith formation with all ages in your congregation

TOPICS

  1. The Vision – a theological and ecclesial vision for genuinely relational formation in faith.
  2. The Processes – eight key faith formation processes anchored in the theological and ecclesial vision and support by recent research.
  3. The Transforming Encounter – as revealed in Scripture, the lives of Saints, as well those around us, God breaks into the lives of persons of all ages and is revealed through these encounters.
  4. The Congregation – innovated ways the congregation can become a catalyst for faith formation in key settings: home/family/daily life, the digital/online world, and in the wider community.
  5. The Plan – using the eight faith formation processes, participants will engage in a facilitated process of planning for effective, lifelong faith formation.
  6. The Leaders – the training experience concludes with a session exploring relational leadership designed to empower the community to nurture and tell their story.
