UNDERGRADUATE COURSES

Formation

It’s possible to follow God, and even serve him in ministry over decades, but not truly apprehend his love or know what it is to live from his life coursing through us. Coming to know this love and this life is an ongoing process of spiritual formation.

This course is an invitation to grow in depth and breadth as a follower of Jesus Christ, as we walk with him into life, by the power of the Spirit, for the glory of God and for the sake of the world. We would love to have you join us.
