Spiritual formation at CG Midtown is rooted in the Gospel and lived out in community. Jesus announced that the kingdom of God was near—God’s presence and loving rule made available to us now. Through Jesus, God revealed His deep love and His desire to heal, reconcile, and restore what has been broken. Life in the kingdom is a growing friendship with Jesus, learning from him how to live the full and abundant life God intends for everyone. As we respond through repentance and baptism, we are welcomed into a new community shaped by the way of Jesus and invited to share in God’s work of reconciliation. The Gospel calls us into a transformed life with Jesus today and, through the power of the Holy Spirit and a committed community, into God’s redeeming work in the world.

Against this backdrop, we understand spiritual formation as the work of the Spirit, shaping us into our true selves in Christ and growing us in love for God and our neighbors.

First Steps in Formation

• Sunday Worship – Join us weekly on Sundays for worship that helps us imagine and live into the way of Jesus.

• Monthly Prayer – Gather with us monthly (third Wednesdays) to seek God’s presence through Scripture and prayer.

• Training & Equipping (T&E) – Participate with us in quarterly T&E sessions that offer practical guidance for everyday kingdom living.
