Build a Thriving Formed Community
A Simple Plan to Introduce and Sustain Formed in Your Organization
Introduce, Integrate, and Grow Formed
Formed isn’t a one-time initiative—it’s a resource to continually form and engage your community.
Formed is more than individual access— parish & school ministries, small groups, Bible studies and classrooms thrive when Formed is woven in intentionally.
This step-by-step plan will help you introduce Formed, invite your community to begin using it, and keep it active year-round.
Prepare Your Team
Set a strong foundation by equipping your leaders and aligning your vision.
Learn how Formed can support your evangelization and catechetical goals by attending a workshop with an Implementation Specialist.
Ensure all clergy, staff, and volunteers understand Formed and can guide others. Host a watch event for your team to sample an episode from one of our most popular series such as The Search, Forgiven, or Presence.
Identify how Formed fits into your existing ministries and priorities. From here, define the first steps to integrate Formed resources into small groups, classrooms, and sacramental prep.
