“[The] HFC certification process has been an experience of awareness, growth, and transformation in my personal and spiritual life. The best experience I have had in 14 years of ministry. My gratitude to HFC team.”

“The course was well designed, facilitators did an awesome job, and the content was well presented and relevant.”

“I have been so impressed and inspired by the HFC’s holistic approach that integrates the best of human, organizational and faith elements to help teams fulfill their mission. Coaches from HFC led our team through an Appreciative Inquiry session that helped lay a strong foundation for our team to build on as we establish a global team.”

“Franciscan University of Steubenville has used the Human Formation Coalition to train staff and faculty as Accompaniers for coaching and the personal vocation cultivation of students. We have also used HFC for a workshop with student leaders using CliftonStrengths. I highly recommend them.”

“Grace perfects human nature and the vision of HFC helps to make that happen through their training. I experienced that in their training first hand when they launched it in 2017.”

“I give thanks to God for the Human Formation Coalition. What a wonderful tool for any leader and ministry in Religious Congregations! I have seen the fruit of Sisters flourish in knowing their strengths and growing in greater understanding of others. It helps me personally to function as a Superior in aiding fine Religious Women to flourish in greater ways in the service of God.”

“The Human Formation Coalition is committed to equipping both clergy and laity to lead the church of the future. The classes and coaches are exceptional, and contribute to a deeper understanding of one’s own personal vocation and gifts. The bigger picture is helping others to begin to recognize and live their unique vocations so they may flourish.”

“Thanks to the Human Formation Coalition our parish has catalyzed a more robust vision of human formation, and equipped our parish staff with a new vocabulary to use in understanding what motivates each of us to work for God’s great honor and glory.”

“Many Protestant and Evangelical churches have long espoused the Biblical mandate to “equip the saints” but have lacked the tools to help God’s people recognize their unique gifts and prepare them for their calling to serve Christ and His Body. The Human Formation Coalition fills this enormous need in the church today. The teaching is sound and eminently practical.
”

“Our pastor invited HFC to help develop a vision of Human Formation into our staff, finance council and pastoral council. That vision has flowed through the adult leadership into the lives of the youth. We initially used the StrengthsExplorer tool only with our eighth graders preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. The discovery of their top strengths was a perfect complement to the understanding of how the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit are strengthened and revealed in each of them. Having found this tool to be highly effective with Confirmandi, we decided to expand its use to all middle school and high school parishioners, as well as our elementary-aged campers at our summer Peace Camp.”

“The coach training and subsequent mentoring enabled me to begin the conversation with people in whom I saw potential. The training has also helped me move with greater confidence and certainty with my own unique gifts.”

“We are happy to partner with HFC to help equip our leadership coaches to inspire priests and their teams to bring their parishes from maintenance to mission. Thanks for your partnership!”

“Thank you for all of these incredible opportunities! When I was being sent to Pittsburgh in the beginning of this year, I asked the Lord, “What is your purpose in sending me to Pittsburgh?” And He answered “To form you and to teach you to love.” These opportunities for SF, APEST, and leadership formation have been instrumental for fulfilling that plan of Jesus.”
