Faith Formation Framework
Your students need more than a good lesson. They need a framework.
More than a million young people walk away from their faith communities every year. Usually it's not because a lesson fell flat — it's because faith that isn't shared, practiced, applied, and reinforced by the people around a student doesn't stick.
Our friends at TENx10 studied what actually produces a lasting faith in young people, and built a Faith Formation Framework around five convictions:
Faith is shared by adults - students need multiple trusted adults who love God and love them.
Faith is internalized through spiritual practices like prayer, Scripture, testimony, and worship.
Faith is applied through real acts of service and justice.
Faith is catalyzed by family - leaders partner with parents, not work around them.
Faith is prioritized by the whole faith community, not just the youth ministry corner of the building.
You don't need a ministry overhaul to start living into this. TENx10 built free tools to help you take the next step:
Relational Discipleship Inventory - A 5-minute assessment showing where your ministry is strong and where it needs attention.
Relational Discipleship Kickstart - A free training to reorient your ministry around relational discipleship, radically focused on Jesus.
Faith Foundations Series - Free lessons helping students know why they believe what they believe, and how it shapes daily life.
Start with the Inventory - ten minutes for a clearer picture of where to focus this semester.
And there's more: we've partnered with TENx10 to lower the cost of several coaching cohorts. If you've been thinking about investing in your own growth, check out our currently forming cohorts.
