Faith Formation Ministries has joined with eight other Christian Reformed ministries to better equip and encourage congregations. Our new name is Thrive.

While our name may have changed, we’re still as committed as ever to encourage and equip churches and individuals to practice lifelong faith and missional discipleship. We continue to listen, provide consulting and resources that fit your unique context, and we walk alongside you and your church as you encounter the challenges and opportunities of growing in resilient, intentional, holistic faith.
