Curriculum Resources
Our communities are the primary classrooms for Christian disciples. As adult learners we are informed by our experience, formed by Scripture and the Christian tradition, and transformed through our accountability to communities of faith. Formation for Area Ministry is therefore inherently relational. Christians who in faith develop small groups of intentional prayer and theological reflection naturally pass on faith to children and youth, offer effective Christian witness in their communities, and invite each other into authentic practices of ministry. The teaching resources developed for Area Ministry represent best practices in Christian formation, enhanced by resources generated in partnership with the Church Divinity School of the Pacific (CDSP) and the Living Stones Collaborative.
