The Spiritual
Formation Center seeks to help all individuals to find, grow
and develop an authentic relationship with God. They offer programs
and events in spiritual education and formation. Their purpose
is to provide a variety of ways for people to encounter the
living God and each other. A life of faith begins with an experience
of God. This deepens with the opportunity to reflect with others,
and becomes a lived reality when there is community support
and accountability. All are welcome. There is a listing of current
and upcoming events and opportunities to work one on one with
someone who will help you discover your experiences of God.
In addition, there are "links" to related bay area
spiritual resources. |
