Small Communities are powerful vehicles for adult faith formation, providing opportunities for learning, prayer, mutual support, and the shared experience of Christian living in service to church and society.

Can we share faith on the Web? is a question that may seen as somewhat paradoxical. Some suggest that the Web is too impersonal and would not be an appropriate vehicle for sharing faith. Others contend that our culture has become much too individualistic because of technology. Yet, today’s social media: the Internet, cell phones and other hand-held devices, and video are rapidly becoming primary vehicles for faith-sharing and faith-formation.

NAFSCC (North American Forum for Small Christian Communities) promotes building on our experience of Small Christian Communities and encourages the use of resources, including contemporary social media and devices, to promote Scripture reflection through the perspectives of faith and life experiences, to encourage faith formation and discipleship, and to enjoy the fullness of small Christian community. You are invited to add your reflections and engage in the conversation as you are inspired and/or challenged by the Scripture reading and commentary.
