Formation
Our Mission
As we grow in our faith in God, we participate in lifelong Christian formation. This is not a single class or event—not a checkmark or task to be accomplished–but an ongoing path that shapes or forms us as followers of Jesus Christ. In a lifelong journey of formation, we seek to engage people of all ages in a relationship with Jesus, equip people with faith practices and learning, empower people to follow God’s calling in their lives as lay and ordained leaders and encourage people by walking with them in their faith journeys. We are all called to be followers of Jesus Christ at home, as individuals in families, and in communities of faith all around the Diocese of New Jersey
Please visit the “Grow in Faith” formation website for more information. There, you’ll find seasonal resources for all ages, event listings for lay and clergy formation, resources for planning formation in your congregation and at home, information about our diocesan School for Ministry, and information about discerning a vocation to lay or ordained leadership in the Diocese of New Jersey.
