SPIRITUAL FORMATION COURSE OFFERINGS
Spiritual formation is the activity of the Holy Spirit which molds our lives into the likeness of Jesus Christ. This likeness is one of deep intimacy with God and genuine compassion for all of creation. Spiritual Formation offers educational opportunities throughout the year. Click here for more details.
