The Formation Co-Op was created because we believe youth ministry — and the church as a whole — is being called into new ways of being. Rather than relying on traditional models or one-size-fits-all programs, we accompany congregations as they listen deeply, experiment with small adaptive changes, learn together across contexts, and trust the Spirit’s movement. Our aim isn’t a formula but a posture of listening, collaboration, and experimentation that allows ministries to grow in ways that are sustainable, life-giving, and rooted in their own context.
Curious about what we’re discovering? Whether or not you’ve been part of the Co-Op, we invite you to explore these learnings and consider what they might mean in your own ministry.
