How can churches best support families in the faith formation of children?
How do church leaders navigate topics of disability, 心理健康, 比赛, 种族, 性别, and sexuality through a Christian lens, and cultivate a healthy cultural identity? How do 父母 and caregivers understand scriptures on these topics? These are the central questions guiding our work. Through interdisciplinary research and partnerships with local congregations, we aim to build a community of learning among Pacific Northwest families and ministry leaders as we navigate faith and parenting in a changing world. We are a diverse group of researchers, 部长, 学生, 父母, 艺术家, 和教育工作者, among myriad identities. What we all have in common: a commitment to faithful service and a desire to see our community grow in Christ.
Thanks to a generous $1 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., 信仰 Formation Project will offer four grants each year to local congregations in support of family ministries. We will also bring local ministry leaders on a pilgrimage to the island of Moloka’i, Hawai’i to learn about reconciliation.
