The Faith Education, Innovation and Formation (Faith INFO)Team

The United Church of Christ is strong because of its local congregations. The Faith Education, Innovation, Formation (FaithINFO) team’s work is to support those congregations in the programmatic, visionary, and strategic work in inter-generational community.

FaithINFO resources and equips local churches to thrive in their unique contexts, given their distinct cultures and communities, and specific expressions of God’s love. We seek to be a vibrant ecosystem that sustains local churches, from financial support through grants and scholarships to theological grounding and guidance through denominational documents like the manual on church. Our collective portfolio includes resources such as Sermon Seeds, Worship Ways, the Nurture the Soul Webinar Series, ministerial support for children and youth, ethnic identified churches and small and rural churches, and equipping our local churches to effectively and faithfully engage the complexities of the world through congregational and community engagement.
