What's Included - Our Offerings
Those subscribing to a full membership receive:
Small Group Material: This is the core offering of the sharing circle. Each month, we offer a new small group packet on the current theme. These packets are designed to support our unique small group approach, which includes spiritual exercises, questions that encourage reflection on daily living and provocative resources that help members see the “old themes” in a new light.
Worship Resources: Our monthly worship packet includes resources for all aspects of worship: from opening words and meditations to music and sermon “seeds.” And of course we share recommended sermons too. Besides the resources in the worship packet, members also take part in a Facebook support page on which ministers ask each other questions and share their best material.
Religious Education Resources: Each month, we offer a children's RE packet that includes lessons and building blocks to help you create your own own unique lessons and learning environments. We also have an active Facebook group and Pinterest page for religious educators, where creative and dedicated RE professionals share ideas and offer support.
Coaching and Implementation Support: Full members have access to our Soul Matters Director, Susan Arnold, who can guide members through the joining process and can help members adapt the Soul Matters program to their particular congregational context. Two to three times a year Rev, Scott Tayler, one of the founding members of Soul Matters, offers online coaching calls to share best practice tips and answer members’ implementation questions.
Virtual Connection: In addition to our Facebook support pages, we have a public Facebook inspiration page that is open to the members of all participating Soul Matters congregations. This inspiration page provides your church members with 2-3 posts each week on the theme. What better way to keep your members reflecting on the theme throughout the week, not just on Sundays?! There is also an RE Pinterest page for each theme with books and ideas for teachers and parents to bring the theme to children.
Subscription Levels: For details about subscription options and costs, see our Joining Page
