What Is Spiritual Formation?
The spiritual formation program, a two-semester course, includes a mandatory spiritual formation orientation in the fall semester and a weekly small group session that explores issues of spirituality including the call to ministry, the formation of religious life, spiritual disciplines and the examination of a growing and changing faith.
Spiritual formation, as the name implies, is the forming work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit forms the Christian into the image of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible also describes His forming work as writing the Law upon the believer’s heart and as transforming the Christian by the renewing of the mind. The Spirit’s transforming work produces an ever-increasing love for God and for neighbor.
