Testimonials

What our alumni shared with us…

  • “Being part of the Spiritual Formation program challenged who I thought I was, and who I thought God was. God has used this experience to profoundly change and deepen my life.” - Shelly

  • “I thoroughly enjoy the community of those who are seeking after God in a deeper way. The readings, the retreats, and the discipline of focusing on contemplative prayer have all drawn me closer to the Lord.” - Cindy

  • “All spiritual disciplines are always to draw us into intimacy with Christ,” were words spoken at our first CFDM retreat. This concept certainly isn’t new to me; but through my participation in ‘Going Deeper with God’, I’ve been able to move my thinking about this concept deeper into my heart.” - Dale

  • “What I have learned through CFDM has been invaluable for my faith journey, as I work on establishing a listening ministry at my church. Leaning into God, finding meaning in God rather than flawed relationships--leading to healthier boundaries--and knowing I am enough to God." - Jenn

  • “The more I learn about prayer the less I think it’s about my work and the more it’s about God’s work.” - Shelly

  • “I have been a Christian for many years and in active ministry service most of my adult life...but being part of the programs has stretched my mind and heart wide open...there is more room for God than ever before.” - Becce

  • “Group direction contributed to my thinking about the value of community. In much of my life I am the giver, listener, encourager, and in group direction I was able to be heard and receive the love of Christ and community.” - Jean

  • “…My year in the program was a year full of growth in my relationship with the Trinity...it was like drinking from a well of water I had never tasted before.” - Janet

  • “ It was a wonderful year of growth and expansion for me — I feel like my hunger and capacity for more of God increased greatly, actually over the course of the two years of Formation 1&2” - Keith

  • “Group direction was important in helping to ‘let go’ of some things and Iearning to listen better to others.” - Joyce
