Spiritual Formation

Belmont Formation Collaborative

Becoming Who You Are in Christ.

Jesus Christ is the origin, center, and goal of creation. He is the divine-human person in relation to whom everything exists. 
 
All things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together . . . In him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things . . . (Colossians 1:16-17, 19-20) 

Spiritual formation is the process of becoming who you are in Christ. As people and communities become attuned to him, as their habits of mind and patterns of life are shaped by his love and life-giving presence, they discover and embrace the meaning and purpose of their lives.  
 
Our work encourages and supports this ongoing process.
