Maximize the power of Spiritual transformation for a world in need
A ministry unified in vision, connected intergenerationally, and working together shines.
But too often obstacles arise, blocking the way to growth.
- People are so busy, distracted, and challenged in their everyday lives that attracting them to programs is tough
- Disconnection between the church and home weakens faith formation
- Personal conflict and competing visions surface between church members or staff, distracting focus from the mission
- Opportunities to connect and grow gain little traction, causing complacency and confusion about what to do next
As a ministry leader, these common challenges are discouraging and can drag you into burnout.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Vibrant Faith is your partner for helping you overcome
obstacles along the faith-formation journey and encouraging spiritual transformation in
your church and community.
Here’s how —
Faith grows more vibrant when the discipleship journey embraces the whole person
Discover the Whole-Person Ministry Leadership Approach
Spiritual transformation doesn’t happen in isolation in an individual’s heart.
Rather, for faith-formation to truly thrive, it must integrate the fullness of a
person’s life. For this reason, Vibrant Faith’s holistic approach to ministry
infuses everything we do.

Testimonials
“Participating in the Vibrant Faith MasterClasses has been an empowering and
encouraging experience in this challenging year. The variety of topics is meeting multiple ministry needs, across all ages and stages. The online presentation format is succinct but impactful, full of learning and practices that are relevant to ministry in 2021. These classes have given us access to innovative, ecumenical voices from leaders in the field, plus the classes and Catalyst provide a built-in cohort of fellow travelers in formation ministry. The research- and experience-based insights from the MasterClasses have given our whole team permission to engage in
transformational ministry and meet this moment with more confidence and joy.
I have shared information from several classes, especially the classes on youth
and family ministry, in meetings and my own classes, as well as conversations
with colleagues and at home. The season pass has been great
value, too—definitely the way to go!”
"What’s remarkable to witness at Round Hill is the new passion people are experiencing, which is fostering new life in the community. As people are becoming more aware of God’s rhythms in their life, they feel themselves drawn to creating projects, being a part of committees, and planning different events for the community."
