Orientation to Formation 2025

Orientation to Formation is specifically designed for formators, mentors and those in elected leadership who attend to new members as they make their sacred journey. It provides an overview of the opportunities, gifts and challenges embedded in the ministry, an introduction to the range of resources available to the formation minister, and the opportunity to connect and share wisdom, insights and best practices with presenters and each other.

OTF will be offered as a 5-week online experience via Zoom. Participants will meet from 11 am to 2 pm (Central) three Tuesdays in September and two Tuesdays in October (September 9, 16, 23, October 7, 14). Preparatory materials will be sent in advance of each session. The online time together will consist of input, focused conversation in small groups, and large group sharing.
