Reformed Christian Spirituality Focus

The purpose of this focus is one of discovering and recovering spiritual formation and practices within the Reformed tradition. Therefore, such study is approached through the lens of both a biblical and theological concentration that educates the mind and is inclusive of experience and emotion. Such a spirituality within the reformed tradition claims a core identity that deepens worship, prayer, and piety. In a culture that seeks spirituality, the emphasis of the focus is both a discovery and recovery process that addresses the pastor as person, the depth and purposefulness of tradition, and the function and place of authority and proclamation. Spirituality is a deep hunger in the church and in society, and this focus will seek to offer fresh dialogue for pastoral identity, formation, ecclesiology and leadership.

Students are required to work with a Spiritual Director during the entire program. Seminars are schedule both as one- and two-week seminars, depending on the course of study. Final Projects can include creative work in additional to a final paper.
