Rich Holleque, on behalf of Mount Olivet, applied for and was selected to be part of the Faith Formation Co-Op.
The Faith Formation Co-Op, an initiative of the ELCA Youth Ministry Network in partnership with the ELCA, explores new frameworks for youth ministry in order to root young people in a lifelong and transformative faith in Jesus.
Each year a growing number of congregations are selected to be part of a co-hort. Each congregation is supported by a Guide, who accompanies the Congregation Team over the course of two years, as they listen, learn and experiment with new youth ministry practices in their congregations and communities.
A team of Mount Olivet members, council and staff has begun this two year process focusing on ministry with 5th-12th graders, and we will commission the team during the 10:45am worship this Sunday (11/3). Team members include Dan Roff, Tori Selzler, Kirsten Scheller, Adia Capistrant, Quinn Himmelberg, Feven Harder, Zac Harder, Rich Holleque, and Beth McGrew-King.
Join the team for a Listening Session and share your insights on the challenges today’s youth face and how we can support their future at Mount Olivet!
