What is the Formation Co-Op?
Over the next four years we will develop an ever-expanding community of co-learners and co-creators made up of Guides who model and teach deep listening practices to congregation teams, and Congregation Teams themselves, who use these skills to listen to and learn from their context and that of others. Based on what is learned through listening, and drawing from existing research and training resources, we will assist Congregation Teams in developing frameworks for youth ministry suitable for their contexts. With the accompaniment and support of a Guide, Congregation Teams will experiment in their congregations and communities over the term of the project and report their experiences to the wider Formation Co-Op community.
