During the 2012-2013 year, the Christian Formation Task Group gathered information on faith formation practices used in congregations of IMMC. The list was updated in the Fall of 2018 by Dan Shrock. These formation practices, centered around scripture, are collected together here for all congregations to draw from. We hope the examples serve as inspiration for new ways to encourage spiritual formation in your own congregation.
Congregational Coaches serve as a resource, counselor, and consultant to pastors/congregational leaders and are available to the congregation in times of need. The coach is a connection between the congregation and conference and is asked to serve by the Conference Pastor and the Leadership Enhancement Team. Congregational Coaches meet twice per year for resourcing, to discuss best practices and offer mutual support.
