Certificate In Spiritual Formation

Develop a Working & Living Knowledge of Spiritual Formation

Discover the transformative power of spiritual formation as you gain practical knowledge in the foundations, cultural practices, and challenges of Christian formation, equipping you to minister effectively.

The Spiritual Formation Certificate Program is a six-course program, designed to develop a working and living knowledge of spiritual formation in your life and for the sake of those that you minister. These courses are meant to engage you in reflection of yourself, connection with your community, and relationship with Jesus Christ. This will culminate in a final project that has direct relevance to your ministry work and spiritual formation.

Throughout the program, we want to equip you with knowledge and skills in spiritual formation, including its history, your experiences, and practices you can integrate into your life. As you learn more about the spiritual benefits of regular practices and a focus on your own formation, you will learn about spiritual formation through the Bible, historical and cultural practices, and the different rhythms that spiritual formation can take. You will journey through your own experiences, the experiences of others, and new experiences that you can practice with those you lead. You will gain wisdom in ministering and fostering formation in a biblical way, representing the love and connection of Jesus Christ.

"The Certificate in Spiritual Formation Cohort gave words to what I have been experiencing in my own spiritual journey. I yearned to go deeper in my relationship with God but what I had been taught in church about spiritual growth wasn’t working for me anymore. Being exposed to many different ways of connecting with God across cultures and history was eye-opening and transforming.

Mari Fajardo
"I was always surprised and delighted that after every module how God showed me new ways how I could use and apply the material learned."

Joy Chudacoff
"This certificate program has enriched my personal interaction with spiritual disciplines as well as fueled my ministry imagination."

Kristen Pool
"This course has been a drink of cold water in a dry and challenging season."

Adrienne Eisenmenger
"This certificate has been such a profound process of discovery and rediscovery to me. What blows my mind and broadens my heart is its cross-cultural and interdisciplinary perspectives on older, more familiar themes. In today’s volatile denominational landscape, this content feels like a soothing balm of the Holy Spirit on our scarred souls."
