Spiritual formation: Trust, Support and Guidance

The Center for Lifelong Learning offers two spirituality certificate programs in Spiritual Direction and Spiritual Formation.

According to the CLL’s new Associate Director of Spirituality Programs, Sharon Junn, Spiritual formation is a process through which our awareness of God’s presence increases, our hearts become more receptive to God’s action and our capacity to partake in the divine nature grows.”

“Spiritual formation is not an idea.  It is real transformational experiences that happen best within a trusted community where support, guidance, and teachings are provided.  While the Spirit is the main leader of the process, our commitment, practice, and yielding are necessary.  The fruit of spiritual formation is to be awakened to God’s presence within ourselves and in all aspects of life that leads us to live a loving life with God in freedom and faith,”said Junn.

Persons interested in this program will discover the relationship of Christian Spirituality to compassion, justice and effective ministry.
