DESIGNING FAITH FORMATION PROGRAMMING WITH LIFELONG FAITH
Lifelong Faith Clinics will guide your team in designing faith formation programming. The Clinics are not webinars, but two-session, online, design labs for creating programming that addresses peoples’ needs using the most effective skills, tools, and processes.
Session One presents key principles and practices; the intervening week is time to design your program; Session Two provides feedback and guidance for your design.
Registration is limited to 20 congregations. Find the overview for each clinic here.

A “blue whirl” is a newly-discovered phenomenon in which four separate types of flame combine into a blue fire-tornado that burns without soot: a tool researchers hope will lead to more environmentally friendly oil-spill clean-ups and perhaps cleaner energy.
We curate Blue Whirl Webinars from opportunities around the region and across the country to support leaders and congregations – in all areas of ministry – bringing together presenters, leaders, colleagues, and the Holy Spirit: four flames combining to “clean-up” tired ministries and energize leaders and communities for new life – hopefully without leaving any environmental hazards in our wake!
Get inspired, learn something new, explore others’ innovations, grow and develop as an individual and/or as a congregation.
