Faith Formation

Faith formation is a process of spiritual growth and development that occurs throughout one’s life. It is a lifelong journey of learning and growing in faith. In the Lutheran Church, faith formation is an important part of the church’s mission. It involves teaching people about the Christian faith and helping them to grow in their relationship with God. The goal of faith formation is to equip all people with the resources they need to grow in their relationship with God for the whole of life, live as disciples of Jesus at home, at work, in the community, and in the world, and develop an understanding of the Bible and the Lutheran faith tradition.
