Our Work.
Inspired by the Gospel, formation.org.au creates time and space for connection and dialogue.
Across the many and varied parts of the church today, deep thinking is taking place on the topic of formation. Many important questions are being asked: How is formation done best? Who is to be formed? What content is to be focussed upon? How will formation continue to be funded? How is impact and effectiveness of formation understood and measured? And many more.
Let’s have these conversations and do this work together.
