Faith Formation

All program participants must complete and submit this Program Registration Form per program.

We're excited to launch for the first time – Youth Alpha this January! Every day youth ask hundreds of questions such as: What should I wear today? What is for dinner? Who should I spend time with? Occasionally they ask deeper questions that are often hard to unpack and find the answers to, such as: Why am I here? What is my purpose? Is there more to life than this?

Youth Alpha provides a safe and comfortable space to virtually explore life’s most challenging questions. All those aged 14-18 are welcome to join a weekly two-hour Zoom gathering beginning January 11, 2021 from 6:30-8:30pm. To find out more information, or to register, please email Sarah Bird.

Diocesan Children, Youth, and Family Ministry will offer weekly “Sunday School” for children (Grades 1-5/Ages 6-10) to explore scripture that follows the lectionary by gathering virtually through Zoom on Wednesdays, January 20 to June 16, from 4:00-5:00pm.

These weekly lessons, offered by CYFM leaders, promise to include faith formation, fun, creative opportunities, and a safe space to ask questions. For more information or to register, contact Sarah Bird.

This new and exciting five-week course launches this spring for youth (ages 12-18) across the diocese. Why Believe? is not your typical confirmation class, but rather an invitation for youth who are curious or interested in exploring Christianity, the Anglican Church, sacraments, and confirmation.

The weekly Zoom gatherings held Wednesdays beginning March 3 (Dates: March 3, 10, 24, 31, and April 7 - no meeting in March Break) from 6:30-8:30pm will feature guest speakers, including Bishop Susan. Led by Donna Ellis and Sarah Bird, youth will have the opportunity to deepen their relationship with God, learn how the Holy Spirit works within our daily lives, and connect with new people. The process of this course does lead to confirmation; however, there is always the choice. For more information or to register, email Sarah Bird.
