Is your church working on developing a comprehensive faith formation plan for children and youth? We'd love to hear from you!
I'm looking for recommendations for a small group study. I'm looking for a variety of topics that range from a three-week to ten-week series. Nothing too intimidating for a lay leader.
I am looking for a devotional (with scripture references) that our family can use to spark discussion and bring God into our dinner or bedtime conversations. Any ideas?
I'm attending a CRC in Oregon and was wondering if there are any opinions on the book “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young? Does the CRC have any position on this book?
I am looking for a devotion to use for our upcoming congregational meeting that will emphasis sharing about how we have experienced God in our day to day lives. Any ideas?

It's Ministry Question Monday and we're excited to share with you the FIRST featured ministry question! Now that we have the question, let's start the discussion.
Is their a guideline regarding voting at congregational meetings if someone is a professing member and is under the age of 18?
Does anyone have suggestions for resources that can be used for helping children/youth prepare for baptism?
I recently got into a discussion that could probably be boiled down to "Why does the church's theology matter? Both churches [profess the creeds] so who cares what they believe past that."
My church is considering expanding our youth service learning trip to include adults and families. How should/would we fundraise differently for an intergen trip than a youth trip?
As a committee, we are looking for a book or devotional to read together and help center our focus on our purpose: Faith Formation of our church community.
There has been much discussion about what age to begin this process (grade 3) and the resources that should be offered to children and parents as preparation, but what about the older baptized member?
I was approached about conducting a profession of faith class for a young adult who is a baptized member of a neighboring church. We wondered what happens to his "professing membership" once he makes public profession of faith in our congregation?
