Spiritual Formation
The Christian life is a life of ongoing inner transformation by the Holy Spirit into the likeness of Christ, thus reflecting the glory of God. This process of transformation is known as spiritual formation.
The spiritual formation ministry offers opportunities to learn, experience and embrace spiritual practices that help us to be open and receptive to the transforming grace of the Holy Spirit in our inner being, and in the process one’s relationship with God is nurtured and deepened. Some of these spiritual practices include the practice of prayer, listening to God through Scriptures, silence, solitude, faith sharing, journaling and the practice of receiving spiritual direction.
These opportunities are offered periodically through:
- Spiritual Formation courses
- Quiet Mornings and Quiet Days with the Lord
- Retreat in Daily Life
- Overnight Silent Retreats (for groups or individuals)
- Monthly Spiritual Direction (the practice of meeting up with a trained companion to reflect on how God is active and present in your life for the purpose of deepening one’s relationship with God)
Retreats
- Quiet Days with the Lord (individually arranged or with a group)
- Tending the Soul Retreats
(stay-in silent retreats) - Retreat in Daily Life
