Spiritual Formation

Spiritual Formation

Growing, developing and deepening our spiritual lives is vital for all Christians. People encounter and respond to the initiative of God indifferent ways and by different avenues.

Following is a list of some of the opportunities that are being or have been offered by the Spiritual Formation Committee this fall for spiritual renewal and formation.

Companions in Christ Group

Companions in Christ is a ministry of spiritual formation. 8-week groups on The Way of Forgiveness will begin this fall. Contact Michelle McClendon 370-2424, ext. 126, for more information. Other groups may form as needed.The material for CIC is available through the Upper Room.

Centering Prayer

Centering Prayer is a practice of being silently open to God’s loving presence in the midst of our busy and scattered lives. The practice suggests spending 20 minutes once or twice a day in quiet solitude with God. An open group meets at First Baptist for an hour each Tuesday at noon in Room E-338 for dialogue, reflection and a time of group Centering Prayer. Anyone interested in learning more about the practice is invited to call Sula Hurley at 250-8484 and is welcome to meet with the group at any time. Contact Michelle McClendon, 370-2424 ext. 126 for more information.
