Faith Formation
Quick Links
The congregation at Franklin Federated Church believes that personal faith development never ends. Pre-Covid we had programs across all age groups focused on growing your faith and sharing your faith journey with others. Some of these programs remain; others will be rebuilt.
Children's Sunday School
Sunday School and Nursery were suspended during the COVID pandemic. We hope to restart them in 2023. .
Intergenerational and Youth Activities
Youth Group fixing up the FFC playground
Even during the worst of the pandemic, we had several activities open to people of all ages, which included gatherings around an outdoor firepit, movies in the sanctuary, a concert in our parking lot, and a visit by an ice-cream truck after worship. Check our events calendar and our weekly emails for upcoming events.
Adult Faith Development
Bible Conversations
The Bible Conversations group meets VIA ZOOM on the first Saturday of the month at 9 am ET to discuss Scripture where you can contemplate the context for the words, investigate what the original message might have meant, and converse with others who are as interested as you in exploring what the message might be for today’s world and your life. All you need is your Bible (any version will do and, by the way, the church has plenty to share!) and experiences from your life! No other preparation needed! Contact Study Leader (lyn@pickhover.net) for more information.
Affirmation Program
Welcoming the affirmands on Affirmation Sunday
The Affirmation Group welcomes all youth who would like to begin to explore their faith. The group is assembled every other year and includes youths who are 14 or older at the beginning of the school year. The journey of exploration includes visits to other churches, learning of other faiths, community service, participation in FFC activities, and developing relationships with chosen adults in the church through mentoring in the Christian faith. The Affirmation Group activities last through the school year culminating in Affirmation Sunday, where they may choose to join the church. Throughout the year, affirmands learn and experience the many ways faith can work in their lives.
