Listening Tour
Our plan for learning how children view worship and experience God is to bring staff from the Sharing Faith Initiative to churches to record interviews with children, staff, parents, and volunteers during a Sunday School hour or after service. We call this the “Listening Tour” and its held each fall from July through December.

Following the Listening Tour, we will send a curated video with interview highlights to the participating church. Those churches are then invited to be part of a cohort of church staff members for further discussions. Best of all, you will get a renewed vision of how your church is equipping the next generation of church leadership.

Media Release Forms
The safety of all participants in our Listening Tour is our utmost concern. Our team met with an Institutional Review Board at the seminary to establish the media release forms that are required from all participants. Click the buttons to review the forms; a downloadable copy of each form is available on each individual page.
