The Companions in Christ series offers small groups a powerfully transforming experience in spiritual formation.  All resources in the series explore classic spiritual practices, and invite participants to develop daily patterns that open their lives to a deepening relationship with God and one another.

The foundational study of Companions in Christ is a 28-week small group experience in spiritual formation.  The study includes five parts/units:  Christian journey, scripture, prayer, call, and spiritual guidance.  Participants encounter inviting and often challenging reading in a participant’s guide each day.  The daily exercise commitment is about thirty minutes.  The week closes with a two-hour group session where participants can share their thoughts, reflect together, and take part in a variety of group learning experiences.

The 28-week course is currently in progress at Central.  This group will complete their studies in November 2009.

As participants complete the 28-week foundational study, other shorter-term Companions in Christ studies may be offered.
