Spiritual Formation is a process, but it is also a journey through which we open our hearts to a deeper connection with God. We are not bystanders in our spiritual lives, we are active participants with God, who is ever inviting us into relationship with him. (Renovare.org)
Our next steps are intended to help attendees know the next steps to take to grow in their faith. We recognize that every person’s journey is different, and our goal is to help each individual identify the steps that meet their goals, not ours. We believe that your next step is yours to take, but you are not alone. Our next steps are:

Practicing the Way
One of the best ways to grow in our apprenticeship to Jesus is in community. Every fall and spring, we launch Practicing the Way groups here at Centerpoint Church.
The Practicing the Way Course features eight sessions of teaching, guided conversation, and spiritual exercises designed to lay a foundation for lifelong apprenticeship to Jesus. The Course is the on-ramp to the Practices. You can find more information here:

Called and Gifted
Called & Gifted Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Each follower of Jesus has a unique calling to bring the kingdom of God into their sphere of influence—whether as a student, parent, business professional, artist, or community leader. A calling is not just for pastors or missionaries but for every disciple of Jesus. You have a call, and God has given you everything you need to live into it.
Called & Gifted at Centerpoint Church is an important part of our discipleship pathway. It helps attendees discern their God-given calling and step into it, contributing to the renewal of our city through renewed people. Our vision is "A renewed city through renewed people for a lost and broken world for God's glory." Called & Gifted plays a key role in fulfilling this vision by equipping you to live out the good works God has prepared for you, bringing righteousness, justice, love, and kindness into your everyday life and relationships.

How It Works
1. Discover:
Through small group conversations with your cohort, you’ll explore your gifts, passions, and experiences to create a tentative call statement.
2. Discern:
You will then take your call statement to trusted people in your life, seeking their feedback and insights to refine your understanding of your gifts and calling.
3. Take a Step:
Finally, you’ll take practical steps to live out your calling by joining existing opportunities to serve, both inside and outside the church, with the support and guidance of your cohort guide.
Join a Called & Gifted cohort to discover your unique purpose and take intentional steps toward living out your calling in the world.
