SPIRITUAL

FORMATION

for Men & Women

When we behold the glory of Christ in the gospel, it reorders the loves of our hearts, so we delight in him supremely, and the other things that have ruled our lives lose their enslaving power over us.

– Sinclair B. Ferguson

OUR MISSION

The Spiritual Formation team exists to provide the men and women of Good Shepherd with biblical context, content, and habits that will encourage them to grow as followers of Christ who are rooted in the gospel, reflecting the Kingdom, and reaching our city.

DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS

Discipleship groups are small groups of either men or women that meet weekly to grow in the knowledge and delight of the Lord together as believers. Our goal is to create an environment that encourages the Christian toward the maturity, unity and love that Paul speaks of in Ephesians 4. Through Scripture reading, discussion, sharing and prayer, we’ll seek to know and trust Jesus in the ever-changing landscapes of our lives with the hope of bringing him glory in our church, homes, and communities.
