Formation by Ages and Stages

Faith formation is a lifelong journey for each Christian, from the cradle to the grave and all points in between.

Children & Families

Resources that support the faith formation of our youngest members, and those who care for them, are important tools in our ministry. We invite you to explore a variety of resources to encourage ministry in homes, small groups, and at the congregational level.

Youth

Our goal for youth ministry in the Diocese of New Jersey is to reach a place where young people are fully included, valued and engaged in the work of the diocese, its parishes and its various ministries. Whether a church has one young person or fifty, each of them should be a respected part of the church community whose voice and offering matters.

Adults

Adult formation carries us through varied stages of life, from young adulthood through to retirement and beyond. It can be pursued in community settings or as individuals.

Intergenerational

Intergenerational faith formation refers to the ways we engage as disciples across the generations, in all-ages settings that are found in our home and congregational lives. This is authentic formation in which all ages are engaged, together, in learning and ministry.
