Mentoring Networks

Learn to disciple

Learn best practices for mentorship and discipleship between emerging adults and others in your church community.

ThereforeGo Ministries and Faith Formation Ministries of the Christian Reformed Church of North America have collaborated to develop an interactive network experience.

What is a network?

A network is a peer learning group made up of congregations that work together with a shared purpose in order to provide each other encouragement and support as they explore new ways of doing ministry within their particular contexts.

In the network relationship, ThereforeGo Ministries (TGM) and Faith Formation Ministries (FFM) will:

  • respect the uniqueness of each congregation.
  • provide a coach to walk alongside as a partner who will listen, brainstorm, encourage, and hold each team accountable to apply their learning to some actions steps and experimentation.
  • connect congregation leaders to resources, resource people, and other leaders in the network whose trajectory is similar.

Why should we consider joining?

We know that for the church to thrive, faith communities must be built upon strong intergenerational connections. While many emerging adults are looking to be part of mentoring relationships with older individuals, many congregations struggle to develop these connections.  A mentoring network provides a peer network of churches a place to discern and strategize with the goal of equipping their congregations to build a vibrant intergenerational faith community.

Emerging Adulthood: What it is and why it matters.

What’s the average age of the individuals worshiping at your church? If your congregation is like many others, you may be noticing fewer and fewer individuals between the ages of 18-25 years old. This workshop will help congregations deepen their understanding of these “emerging adults” and how they often experience the church.

 

Mentoring 101: We want to connect so what should we do?

Many “older” individuals in the church want to build relationships with young people in their congregation but aren’t sure how to begin. This workshop will discuss best practices for individuals looking to connect across generations that focus on calling, gifts, and individual experiences.

Renewed Hope

“I found hope in the “next” generation of young people in our church and community! They were amazing examples of Jesus Christ. This {experience} brought back my confidence in our kid’s salvation.”

Engaging Youth

“We began this mentoring cohort looking for ways we could engage our youth more effectively.  We were given some helpful steps and have began some conversations in the church about mentoring our youth and building a stronger community for everyone.”

Refilled & Refreshed

“My participation in the SERVE experience served as a great reminder as to why I got into ministry in the first place. I’m passionate about teaching, serving and building relationships with students. I was able to encounter all 3 without the stresses of the office or head leadership role. I feel refilled, renewed, and refreshed.”
