Formation by Design

Being a Christian Formation leader can feel a bit like being a lone ranger at times. You may have a small team of part-time workers and/or volunteers, but ultimately designing and figuring out how to engage your congregation is up to you.

So, you start by Googling or searching on a Facebook group for ideas. You work hard within the limits of your time, budget, and learners' attention spans to create compelling formational opportunities, ultimately determining your success based on whether or not people showed up. Formation by Design offers a new way.

For nearly 15 years, Hannah has served Episcopal parish communities in a variety of Christian Formation roles.

She regularly contributes to Diocesan events and camps. Hannah has led the Education for Ministry Program as a mentor and trains other mentors to lead the program as well. She is recognized for her innovative use of technology to integrate liturgical seasons, parish programs, music, faith-at-home activities, and outreach.

Hannah believes that clear, thoughtful, and honest communication is the key to a successful project. As a result of recognizing her gift for digital learning tools, Hannah was named Head of the LF!

When the weather is warm in Baltimore, you can find Hannah in the garden or working on a DIY Project with her husband, James, and their three young boys. During the colder months, Hannah enjoys curling up with a good book about gardening and eating way too many snacks.
