Fahs Innovation Network

Want to use your creativity and imagination to help shape the future of faith formation? Join the Fahs Innovation Network! Sharing your name and profile puts your name on the list of religious educators willing to work on innovative solutions to challenges in faith formation or congregational life.

The Fahs Collaborative makes space and time to examine challenges in spiritual teaching and learning; from there, we generate alternative solutions. This kind of work requires a cohort of thoughtful teachers and coaches to design appropriate educational responses.

When we have a project that would benefit from the collaborative wisdom and creativity of our colleagues, we reach out to religious professionals who have an appropriate skill-set to tackle the problem. All project teams are shaped with an eye toward multiracial, multicultural, and theologically diverse sensibilities.

If the descriptions below sound like you, we invite you to register your skill-set with the Fahs Collaborative. We offer compensation whenever possible.
