Spiritual Formation, according to Robert Mulholland is “the process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others.” This process, or journey, opens our hearts so we can have a deeper connection with God. It is in this place with God that He can bring transformation into our lives. “As we take on the life of Jesus – become like him – we experience a richness in life and faith that is truly renewed day by day.” (Renovare)

Every person was created to have an intimate relationship with God.  Spiritual formation helps us return to that relationship that was planned from the foundation of the earth. It is in that place of His Presence that every need we have can be met. Spiritual formation brings us into the realization that only through God will we experience true love, joy, peace and all that we so desire.
