SPIRITUAL FORMATION AND CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Spiritual Formation

Next Generation Workshop

Event: "How To" Discussion of Small Membership Churches

If you have an average worship attendance of 120 or less, and a desire to minister with the young people in your community, come join the conversation - Being Disciples, Making Disciples, and Maturing Disciples for the Next Generation: A "How To" Discussion for the Small Membership Church.

Presenter, Stephanie Caro, of Ministry Architects, and keynote speaker for Vision Discipleship at Annual Conference 2018, will continue the conversation about reaching young people in our communities on September 20 at Camp Wanake and Retreat Center. Caro has more than 30 years of experience working with children, youth, and adults in all aspects of church ministry. View her hilarious AC presentation. (start video at 1 hr. 10 min. mark)

The Education Committee

The mission of The United Methodist Church in East Ohio is to make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

The Committee exists to develop and promote Spiritual Formation & Christian Education that gives all children of God, regardless of age, a transforming knowledge and experience in the Christian faith. The goals of the Education & Faith Formation Committee are:

  • to provide the tools that will resource and motivate our Christian community, and the world.
  • to promote the development of a spiritual life throughout the East Ohio Conference.
  • to equip persons in local congregations.

The Committee exists as a resource for volunteer and paid staff (both lay and clergy) to:

  • promote faith formation opportunities.
  • support ministry opportunities for all age-levels throughout the conference.
  • offer conference, district and local church training events.
  • offer Safe Sanctuaries sample policies, assistance and resources.
  • form and promote Spiritual Formation and Christian Education as a vocation.

The Spiritual Formation & Christian Education Committee consists of 12 members and is supported through conference Shared Ministry Apportionments. The bishop nominates the committee chair and the Leadership Committee nominates the remaining members of the Education Committee. All 12 members are then formally elected to their positions by the annual conference. 

For more information about the Spiritual Formation & Christian Education Committee, please contact Gary Jones at (800) 831-3972 ext. 120.
