Spiritual Formation

Spiritual Formation is the continual process of growth through God’s consistent love in which He shapes us to be more like Christ and equips us to do the work of Christ.

To come alongside and help the adults at WRCC do just that, we offer a variety of classes for adults. Some of our classes run for a semester, others a shorter period of time.

CLASSES

Mon, Aug 19th | 6:30-8:30pm | Fireside
Room |  Led by: Lisa Black & Sharon Hecht

You have begun a journey we know you did not want. We are so sorry for your loss, and we want to come alongside you on this journey of grief. Our desire is to help you process your grief beginning with this one-time gathering that enables you to hear from others who have walked in your shoes and are on the path of healing. Gain reasons for hope and practical tips for coping with your loss. Please register if you’re able, walk-ins are welcome.

(cost $25)

Practicing the Way

Wednesday, Sep 4-Oct 9 | 6:30-8pm
Room 109 | Led by: Tim Rhee

Our spiritual formation (growth in Christlikeness) is never haphazard. Rather, it requires intentionality and deliberate practice. Whether you are a young Christian or have been following Jesus for decades, join us for this 6-week  study of John Mark Comer’s book, Practicing the Way, which gives a compelling picture of discipleship as “apprenticeship to Jesus”. Together, we will define  spiritual formation and also explore different rhythms and practices to aid our faith journey. (cost $14, register by 8/28)

The book of Romans is the most complete explanation of a believer’s justification  before God. Paul, the author, has a mission to invite all to a life of fullness with Christ.

At GriefShare, you’ll find a safe, comforting place where you can talk with others about your grief. You’ll find support, direction, and guidance on how to make it through. You’ll view information-packed videos featuring leading grief recovery experts, participate in small group discussions about the weekly video content, and engage in your workbook through personal study and journaling.

GROUPS

Small Groups
Small Groups

We believe that God never meant for us to do life alone. We were created to walk  with each other, to grow in Christlikeness with one another, and to glorify God together. Small Groups at WRCC are typically made up of 5-12 individuals who gather together on a regular basis for the purpose of spiritual formation – growing in Christ. Through Bible study, prayer, community building, and service opportunities, our Small Groups seek to be transformed together.

Currently, we have men’s groups, women’s groups, and co-ed groups
meeting. For more information about joining a Small Group, email smallgroup@windsorroad.org.
