Faith Formation Project

How can churches best support families in the faith formation of children? How do church leaders navigate topics of disability, mental health, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality through a Christian lens, and cultivate a healthy cultural identity? How do parents and caregivers understand scriptures on these topics? These are the central questions guiding our work. Through interdisciplinary research and partnerships with local congregations, we aim to build a community of learning among Pacific Northwest families and ministry leaders as we navigate faith and parenting in a changing world.
