Spiritual Formation Retreats
Columbia Theological Seminary Spiritual Formation Program
The Spiritual Formation Program offers people in the pulpit, in the pew, in all denominations and stages of life, an exploration of community-grounded Christian spirituality that is rooted in scripture, theology, a history of the tradition, reading in the spiritual classics, prayer and meditation, and in skills for assisting others on a spiritual journey. You will learn spiritual practices experientially, and, at the same time, develop skills for helping others in their spiritual growth. And, as seminary faculty members and other carefully selected, experienced teachers guide you through structured study, you will discover the relationship in Christian spirituality between compassion, justice, and effective ministry.
