Membership Area

Our Forma community continues to grow and we would love to have YOU as part of our vibrant tapestry of gifts and ministries. Please join us and become a member:

We are full-time, part-time, and volunteer educators and formation ministers. We serve in local churches, schools and dioceses, camp and conference centers, as well as in the church-wide structure and other church-related fields like publishing and resource provision. We represent leadership that includes non-ordained Christians who are living out their baptismal covenants, as well as deacons, priests, and bishops.

Membership benefits include:

  • Networking and idea-sharing with Episcopal Christian educators and formation personnel across all ministries of the Church, including children, youth, young adults, adults, chaplaincies, camp and conference centers, resources centers, seminaries, publishers, and more.
  • Helpful ministry tools like e-newsletters, seasonal tips, and news you can use.
  • Speaking on behalf of local, regional, and church-wide advocacy for Christian formation ministries.
  • Access to special membership sections of our website, including access to FREE resources created and shared by other members.
  • Participation in our exclusive e-mail listserv. This lively virtual community connects members to endless ideas, resources, encouragement, prayers, and spiritual support.
  • Access to a national register of members and up-to-date listings for Christian education jobs.
  • Discount registration fees for Forma events—including an annual conference that offers spiritual renewal and a chance to share and experience the best practices in Christian formation.
