Faith Formation @ Christ Church
The 5 Principles
The life-long journey of faith formation at Christ Church is defined by the following principles:
- Faith is formed by the power of the Holy Spirit through personal trusted relationships —
often in our own homes.
- The Church is a living partnership between ministry of the congregation and the ministry
of the home.
- Where Christ is present in faith, home is the church, too.
- Faith is caught more than it is taught.
- If we want Christian youth and children, we need Christian adults and parents.
The 4 Keys
Christ Church is here to help equip families to develop good faith practices at home.
We try and model that by incorporating 4 keys into every ministry opportunity.
- Caring Conversation
- Devotion
- Service
- Rituals and Traditions
The 6 Locations of Ministry
At Christ Church we realize that the church is not a building or a specific place. The church
IS people and relationships. A community brought together through the power and love of Christ.
Therefore ministry and faith formation does not just happen inside these walls but in the 6
locations of ministry:
- Children and youth
- Homes
- Congregations
- Community
- Culture
- Creation
