If so, consider applying for a Vibrant Faith Ministries’ grant to support a Cluster Training event. This event brings together multiple congregations for one day of training and one year of coaching.
You Will:
- Learn the essential components for creating a culture of vibrant faith
- Develop a year-long plan for integrating vibrant faith principles and practices
- Gain access to a wealth of tools and resources to enhance your ministry efforts
- Create ways to support and network with local congregations on faith formation, discipleship and community outreach
Participation in a Cluster Training event includes:
- Friday interviews with staff and leaders to assess the strengths and weakness of the congregation
- A Saturday seminar with four-to-six congregations to inspire members and introduce them to vibrant faith principles and practices
- Sunday preaching, teaching and a leadership brainstorming session at each congregation to energize members and to develop a year-long ministry plan
- Each congregation receiving an Executive Report to guide their efforts in creating a culture of vibrant faith
Cluster Training is typically followed with several coaching sessions to ensure that your ministry goals are realized.
Some of the additional benefits of Cluster Training and Coaching are:
- Bringing together the collective wisdom of Vibrant Faith Ministries and multiple congregations
- Maximizing the impact of the Vibrant Faith Frame for the missional needs of a particular community
- Offering a cost-effective way to gain expertise in faith formation, discipleship, stewardship and community outreach
- Providing a tangible way for congregations to learn how to work together in sharing God’s love with their local communities
- Best of all, it really works!
