They function under the direction of the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. Their work is deeply important in expanding discipleship within a congregation. \nThe course is designed to not just cover faith formation for children\, youth\, and adults\, but also invites participants to consider\, “What does it look like to offer congregational formation?” Throughout the course we will evaluate and adapt curriculum that is already available to meet their contexts. By course end\, each participant will have designed a program that they will offer to the congregation in the year ahead. \nEach meeting will be held at 6:00 PM on the 4th Monday of the month on Zoom. Below are the dates and subjects for each class. Applicants must attend all six sessions and complete a project to be licensed. Applications will close July 18\, 2025.

Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call for faith\, hope\, mutual respect\, and love. \nThe program assumes prior reading/viewing before each session. Selected materials are highly informative\, stimulating\, and transformative. Most study materials are available online. \nCircles are open to EVERYONE in the diocese and beyond.
