Adults .. Spiritual Formation

The first question that often arises is, “what is spiritual formation?” Let us be clear, that spiritual formation in not simply a new name for discipleship. Rather, spiritual formation is entering a journey in Christ of personal transformation. The journey takes us on a path to becoming a new creature that Christ forms in us by the work of His Spirit. The journey gives priority to the inner self where the Spirit dwells. The transformation then moves from the inside out. This is why the Bible and Christ Himself over and over emphasize the heart.

In March of 2006, our congregation was introduced to the world of spiritual formation through a lecture series by Dr. John Coe, Director of the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology. From January thru June of 2007, many in our congregation participated in The Journey, a ministry of training in spiritual formation.

Spiritual formation small groups will begin in September of 2007 using the Spiritual Formation Workbook by Richard Foster of Renovare. Another session of The Journey will be offered, January thru May of 2008. Applications for the next session of The Journey will be available beginning October 2007 on this website.
