Design Lifelong Faith Formation Networks and Playlists
with the Curated Resources in the Studio
The Lifelong Faith Studio provides curated digital resources - from a variety of Christian faith traditions - for children, adolescents, adults, and families to assist leaders in building networks of faith formation and playlists of learning.
The curated resources in the Studio are organized around the ten goals for maturing in faith described in the Lifelong Faith book. We have selected a variety of digital resources that are either free or low cost that you can use to develop online faith formation programming for all ages in your faith community in virtual and blended settings. The resources listed can be used in designing online and hybrid faith formation programming and playlists, and adding content to faith formation websites for children, adolescents, adults, families, and all generations. |
It's important for you to determine if a resource is appropriate for your congregation. Develop evaluation criteria to review all resources. Consider the following categories for evaluating a resource:
