We knew it!! Covid changed a lot of things, and faith formation is no exception.

According to Building Faith's recent article, 21st century faith formation trends, there are some crucial points to consider when thinking through new ways to effectively plan for faith formation in your place with your people…

Faith formation is trending toward…

Intergenerational learning and experiences
Supporting faith in the home and everyday life
Adapting to new methods of learning that we see in our schools (for example, integrating technology and project based learning)
Faith formation that supports the whole person, balancing a traditional emphasis on intellectual formation with the formation of emotion, body, and spirit
Supporting children, youth, and adults as they adapt to a rapidly changing world
Relationships (rather than programs)
Using appropriate technologies to support, communicate, and inspire
