Faith Formation Ministry

As a process of growth and transformation, spiritual formation is at the heart of the Christian faith. Spiritual formation is the process of cultivating, nurturing, and nourishing one’s inner spirit so they can grow in Love, discover their connection with God the Divine, and continue to mature in grace and compassion and in works of justice and peace.

The Florida Conference believes that growing in faith is a lifelong journey. Our congregations offer children, youth and adults opportunities for learning and developing the faith as they nurture the seed within.

We also believe that spiritual direction is one way to grow in Christ and in Spirit. Within our Conference are trained spiritual directors who can guide you on this path. If you would like to connect with one, please reach out to our office directly and we will connect you.

We are called to grow in Christ and in the Spirit producing the fruits of the Spirit which are: “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and responsibility.” Galatians 5. The Conference offers opportunities for faith formation as well as the following resources:
