Partners in Education
How can we help you?Partners in Education are a group of persons gifted, skilled and trained who can provide assistance to congregations in strengthening educational ministries. These persons might help with curriculum resource choices, leadership development, welcoming atmospheres, sexuality education, adult faith formation, or other issues in church life that need the eye of an "outside consultant".
In the Southwest Conference, our Partners are "geographically dispersed" to be more available to local churches. Southwest Partners are:

Faith Practices: Worship, Learning and Serving for Vital Congregations Faith Practices provides resources for worship, learning and serving on a variety of faith practices. Based on the understanding of faith practices as "...opportunities to see how our ordinary activities are all tangled up with the things God is doing in the world", the United Church of Christ is creating a new resource for congregations. Resources on four practices of faith will become available each year for six years. Find out more at http://www.faithpractices.org/ |
