What Is Spiritual Formation?

Spiritual Formation is the lifelong process of intentionally opening one's life to God.

• God desires relationship with us. As a response to God's desire, spiritual formation deepens that relationship.
• We need God to fill our deep longing to live a life of love. Practices of spiritual formation invite the Holy Spirit to grow our capacity to love.
• We live in human communities. Spiritual formation roots us together in Christ, equipping us to give and receive God's grace.
