A proven program to produce spiritual transformation in leaders
There are more than a few seminar and instructional opportunities for those who just want to learn about spiritual formation. What is distinctive about the Transforming Community® is that it offers a long-term, lived experience, individually and in community that helps individuals incorporate the spiritual rhythms into their actual lives as pastors and leaders.
Each retreat includes substantive teaching on spiritual formation themes and practices, guided experiences with spiritual disciplines, and significant engagement in community with other leaders. The Transforming Community experience is grounded in Scripture, animated by a Trinitarian approach to transformation in community, and informed by the richness and diversity of our Christian heritage. Visit "What we Believe" to learn more about our biblical and theological view of spiritual formation.
