Formation

To find information, activities, resources and opportunities during the time of the coronavirus crisis, we encourage you to visit the At-Home Worship and Formation page created especially for this time.


To live the gospel to the fullest means it must be part of our daily life. The work of lifelong formation has long been underway in this diocese, but to go even deeper, the Diocese of North Carolina has dedicated resources, including a Missioner for Adult Formation and Lifelong Learning, and the Chartered Committee on Lifelong Formation. Together, they work to help us integrate Christian formation into our daily lives in ways that are guided by four principles: that it be intergenerational, relationally based, creative, adaptive and highlight the role of liturgy.

Adult Formation

Formation doesn't stop once a Christian ages out of Sunday school, vacation Bible school or youth group. A wealth of resources are available for adults looking to deepen their biblical knowledge, learn a new spiritual discipline, or find some comfort and inspiration. We've collected a handful of our favorites below.

Video Curricula

With the support of a grant from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, the former School of Ministry produced these courses for use in congregations, and are intended as a stimulus for adult group discussion. The brief programs, usually lasting between 12 and 15 minutes, draw upon the rich human resources of our diocese. Facilitator's guides for each course are also available for download.

Licensed Lay Ministry

While ordained ministers, whether deacon or priest, are usually the ones who lead Sunday morning services, there are many opportunities in The Episcopal Church for lay people to lead and participate in services. If you are a lay person interested in becoming a worship leader, preacher, catechist, Eucharistic minister or Eucharistic visitor, please read the following guidelines and then talk to your rector or vicar about becoming licensed.

    Jenny Beaumont

    Missioner for Adult and Life-long Formation
    919-834-7474, ext. 5417 |

    Jenny Beaumont is a cradle-born Episcopalian who has lived in the Diocese of North Carolina for most of her adult life.

    Jenny is a race and reconciliation leader and a national trainer for Education on Ministry through University of the South. She was the lead author of These Are Our Bodies: Talking Faith at Church and Home and co-author of These Are Our Bodies: Talking Faith at Church and Home: Foundation Book, all while running a learning center created to meet the needs of families and students with specific and expert support in learning.

    Reimagining Christian formation for a 21st-century context is a focus and passion for Jenny. She uses both traditional in-person gatherings as well as online models to expand offerings and networks across our diverse diocese. Jenny collaborates in efforts, strategies and approaches in adult learning, emphasizing our mission priorities.

    Jenny works closely with the diocesan youth missioners and other diocesan staff, the Chartered Commission for Lifelong Christian Formation, the Racial Justice and Reconciliation Committee, the Commission for the Diaconate and the Diocesan Council department for Christian formation, all of whom work together to continue to build relationships and cooperative efforts with formation leaders across the diocese and the wider Church.

    Jenny is a Deep Living Spiritual Life Coach, certified in the Enneagram and is currently working towards her a Masters in Religious Studies from UNC-Charlotte. She lives in Charlotte with her spouse, Michael, and her three grown children. Jenny loves to read just about anything and to have her hands in the dirt—weeding, planting and sowing seeds.
