Spiritual Formation
Offering Companionship Along Your Spiritual Journey
Are you so busy you can hardly catch your breath? Does the Bible seem bland? Are you having difficulty forgiving? Want a deeper spiritual life but not sure where to start? Wondering what Jesus is inviting you into at this time in your life? These and other questions are explored through Spiritual Formation opportunities.
Quiet Hours
We all need time with God. Quiet Hours is time to come and just be – to step away from distractions and our hurried lives. The flow for our morning begins with a short opening and instructions in the Worship Center, a time of silence, and then you choose how to spend the rest of your morning. Stay in the Worship Center for silence/prayer/journaling, practice Creative Silence through art, or practice silence in Nature. We meet monthly from 8:30 am – 11:30 am. We invite you to come for any or all that work for your schedule and stay as long as you want!
Centering Prayer
Experience silent meditation followed by reflective Scripture reading and conversation.
Wednesdays | 8:30 AM | Providence Church

Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is a ministry of the church that dates back to the early desert fathers and mothers. We seek companions and guides along our journey of faith through individual spiritual direction and/or group spiritual direction. Spiritual Directors are those who have received professional certification in: deep listening, spiritual practices and theological training.
Typically you meet once a month with a spiritual director for one hour. The number of sessions is determined by you in consultation with the director. Fees are set by each spiritual director, with some offering sliding scales and half hour sessions.
