The Formation Toward Christian Ministry (FTCM) program offers basic theology and spiritual development to Catholic adults who want to deepen their commitment to Jesus and more fully answer their baptismal call to service as a mature disciple. As a core program offered by the Archdiocese of Galveston -Houston, FTCM provides authentic Catholic teachings taught by approved instructors with Masters or Doctoral degrees in theological disciplines.
There are several formation programs within the Archdiocese that require FTCM as either a portion of their overall program or as a pre -requisite for entry into the program. These include, among others, catechist formation, catechetical leader formation and youth ministry leader formation.
