Join us for this 10-wk Elective class at 9 AM in Room D104. Head to the courtyard and grab a cup of coffee and someone will point you in the direction of the class.
We have all had a time in our lives when we set a specific goal and made a plan to reach it. Our desire for you in the Spiritual Disciplines Class is to set a goal for spiritual growth and make a plan to reach it. Our focus will be on learning and growing. The apostle Paul writes to his young co-worker Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:15, “Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.” The purpose of these spiritual practices that you will learn will be to help you see progress toward your goal, which is Spiritual Growth. Over the nine weeks we will practice nine spiritual disciplines:
- Bible Intake
- Prayer
- Learning & Journaling
- Meditating on Scripture
- Silence and Solitude
- Worship
- Fasting
- Stewardship
- Serving
The benefit of practicing these disciplines is that you will see progress in your spiritual life, deepen your relationship with God, experience intimacy with God, and make space for God at the center of your life.
Childcare available in our regular 9 AM Children's Ministry Program.
