Our Approach to Formation

Cultivating a deeply rooted life in Christ.

Following Jesus along the path of life is not always easy, but we find abundant life by trusting in His truth and walking in His ways. We believe this happens through spiritual formation done both in personal spiritual practices and in community.

What is Formation?

Spiritual formation is the journey of becoming more like Christ.

It involves practices that help a person grow in their relationship with God. In seeking spiritual renewal, we hope to see individual lives change and communities formed by individuals believing the gospel, belonging to community, and becoming more like Christ.
