Change by Grace
Join us this Fall 2020!
What is Forming?
Forming is a fresh, life-giving approach to spiritual growth and restoration that may be very different from what you have tried before. What makes Forming unique is that instead of relying on your willpower and self-effort to bring about change in your life, we help you build a relationship with God that is vibrant enough to let Him change you from the inside out.
Forming consists of twelve sessions, each with a particular focus intended to jump-start your spiritual life and help you develop greater intimacy with God.
​
Forming is our most requested course and one that people take again & again, because it is so life-changing. We don't know when we will offer it again - so don't miss this opportunity!
