"You shall Love the Lord you God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. " -- Mark 12:30

Spiritual Formation is that part of our ministry which emphasizes our daily response to God who reaches out to us in love and grace. It is about our spirituality and the way we live Christian faith. We ask, “What gives meaning to life?”  We invite you to study and interact with a large group of committed and intelligent participants to learn what God is about in your life and in the world.

For Christians the relationship with God is made possible in the person of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit active in our lives, and our intentional effort. This multi-faceted relationship engages heart, soul, mind, and strength through many different practices. Spirituality practices are taught and experienced. But spiritual formation also includes worship, theological reflection (wondering who God is), prayer, meditation, retreats, discernment, intentional listening, service, bible study and more. Our diverse offerings range from the contemplative to the active and from the traditional to the current like the spirituality portrayed in films and discovered in nature.

In our current context where religion is often seen as divisive, we work to create dialogue, understanding and peace with other faiths. We are particularly interested in promoting dialogue with the Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

We believe spiritual formation occurs in the family and community as well as in the individual. We work to create opportunities for families of all types to develop and understand their relationship with God. We believe to be Christian requires the support and the check of community. To this end we promote the development of smaller groups where people can be known and know one another.By the love of God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we envision a community that is passionate about being in relationship with God so that all we are and all we do flows from that relationship and points toward the One whose purposes we serve in the church and in the world.  We envision a community that trusts so deeply in God's active presence, that risks are willingly taken to become disciples, follow new paths and move into new ministries as God seems to call.

Our Vision
By the love of God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we envision a church that is passionate about being in relationship with God so that all we are and all we do flows out of that relationship and points toward the One whose purposes we serve in the church and in the world. We envision a church that trusts so deeply in God's active presence, that risks are willingly taken to be formed into disciples, follow new paths and move into new ministries as God seems to call.
