Faith Practices is a new set of innovative online resources developed by the United Church of Christ for every age group and setting in your congregation. Created by and for local churches, Faith Practices helps us practice and discuss our faith in daily life.
• At least 24 different faith practices to explore over the coming years.
• Each and every faith practice has more than 600 activities to choose from. That’s more than 50 activities per age group!
• Affordable, online downloads always available when you need them.
• Accessible content and attractive presentation (including microwave-ready “e-z preps”) appeal to volunteer and professional educators alike.
• Non-linear activities weave your church’s educational experiences into the full fabric of congregational life, including worship.
Faith Practices provides topic based resources for worship, learning, and serving.
In short there are multiple activities for every week!
Always available, undated, flexible, engaging and gives us language to talk about our faith.
