Christian Formation Conference
Children & Youth Faith Formation
June 14 - 17, 2009
Children & Youth Formation Workshops
In addition to plenary programs with keynote addresses by Dr. Fredrica Harris Thompsett, participants have several choices during workshop sessions. Another option is to attend leadership training programs for Education for Ministry (EfM), Godly Play or Journey to Adulthood (J2A).
Four kinds of programs will be offered at every 90-minute workshop period: 101 options designed for newcomers and open to all; 201 options designed for experience Christian educators and open to all; theme-related, in response to the conference theme of how we read, understand and interpret the Bible; and spirituality to help us tend to our own souls.
Planning for this conference is ongoing. More workshops and workshop details will be added, so please check back periodically.
