The Seasons of Adult Faith Formation

by John Roberto (Editor)

Overview

It's time for every Christian church to commit itself to developing faith formation for every season of adulthood: young adults, midlife adults, mature adults, and older adults. With new ways of thinking and acting, faith formation for every adult in our congregation and in the wider community is possible today--if we use twenty first century practices, approaches, and resources. The Seasons of Adult Faith Formation provides leaders with a deeper understanding of adulthood today, a vision of twenty-first century adult faith formation, and the tools and processes for designing faith formation for all the seasons of adulthood.
