Consultation
Spiritual formation in your context
Ministry leaders need a deepening formational life with god.
We know the conversation around spiritual formation and soul care is growing, as many churches, leaders, and ministries are recognizing that developing a deep, abiding life in Christ is central to our faith and to our leadership. Developing a culture that values and integrates spiritual formation starts with leaders like you.
If you’re asking questions around how to prioritize and integrate a culture of formation and care in your own life or organization, we’d love to share what we’ve learned with you! While we consider ourselves lifelong learners on this particular subject, we love meeting with others to offer the wisdom we’ve cultivated and encourage them along their journey.

Church Health Assessment Tool

The Curated church initiative
Cultivating Communal Discernment as a Leadership Team
Creating a formational culture in your church is no small task, and we believe it begins and flourishes with a healthy ministry team. The CURATED Church Initiative seeks to create safe spaces to help church leadership teams become spiritually and emotionally whole communities that mutually discern the voice and movement of God together and lead their congregations in how to do the same.
Participants in the CCI will:
experience personal spiritual rejuvenation and care
move from a team of individual leaders to a spiritual community
experience increased trust, compassion, and appreciation amongst their leadership community
gain deepened clarity of church culture, mission, vision, and values resulting from shared life and shared experience
The FULL CCI PROGRAM includes:
A 3-month guided journey through the Ignatian Exercises as a team:
The Ignatian Exercises are a 500-year-old prayer experience designed specifically to draw you into closer communion with Jesus and cultivate discernment. Our 3-month version designed specifically for leadership teams allows your team to have a shared prayer experience that develops spiritual community and increases trust and compassion for one another. This also includes three one-hour sessions of spiritual direction for each staff member as well as eight sessions of group spiritual direction.
A communal discernment retreat:
We’ve designed a one-day retreat for your team that will enable you to discern together where God is leading your ministry.
Ongoing care and investment from the CURATE team:
We as the CURATE team commit to ongoing care and investment in your team, whether that’s through consultation or providing spiritual direction for your staff.

The total cost will depend upon your budget and team size, and will be determined upon an initial consultation. (A good estimate for the full program is $750-1,250/person.)
