The task force that is leading the Life of Faith Initiative seeks to involve as many people, organizations, and networks as possible to:
- Equip congregations as teaching and learning communities to fulfill their mission of equipping the baptized for their ministries in daily life.
- Expand and strengthen the network of teaching and learning communities: lay schools for ministry, campus ministries, congregations, camps, social ministry organizations, service learning opportunities, schools, colleges and universities, and seminaries.
- Create teaching and learning communities in other innovative forms, places, and contexts.
- Develop a network of support for those already involved in this work.
- Generate reflection and discussion on what we mean when we talk about church.
- Inspire experimentation and share what is learned about how to be a gathered–scattered church. In particular, we are leading a Holy Innovations project that is piloting our principles in willing synods and congregations. Contact us for information.
- Provide a web-based cache of resources, including a set of core resources available at no cost.
- Curate and distribute best practices in teaching and learning related to the initiative.
