September Faith+Lead Roundup: Learning for Faithful Ministry

Faith+Lead’s September roundup offers practical, accessible opportunities for rostered ministers and lay leaders who want to deepen their biblical grounding, grow in leadership and explore new possibilities for ministry.

This month’s offerings include short courses introducing the Old and New Testaments; Genesis to Revelation, a 12-module course for emerging leaders; and a Certificate in Bible Foundations for those seeking deeper study. Leaders can also download a free Gospel of Matthew guide designed for a four-week Bible study.

Those discerning a call to begin a new Christian community can explore Faith+Lead’s year-long incubator, which combines online gatherings, learning, coaching and ministry experimentation. The School for Lay Ministry also offers a community for laypeople at every stage of leadership and discernment.

The roundup also features new listening resources: the completed seventh season of the Pivot Podcast and Sermon Brainwave, Working Preacher’s weekly conversation on the Revised Common Lectionary texts.

Formation is not only preparation for ministry; it is a continuing practice of listening for the Holy Spirit, growing in Scripture and joining God’s work in our communities. Whether you are leading a Bible study, exploring a new call or seeking fresh ideas for your congregation, these resources offer a place to begin.
