Spiritual Formation is the process whereby we
grow in our relationship with God and become
conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. It
takes place as we interact with God's words
in Scripture. We meet God as a person in the
Bible. "The Bible is alive, it speaks to me,"
said Martin Luther in the 16th century.
