Our faith is expressed and strengthened most often in two ways. The first is our personal life of prayer and relationship with God. The second is our common expression of faith in the celebration of the church’s sacraments and other forms of common worship. The ministry of spiritual development tries to educate, lead, and inspire these two aspects of our faith lives. At its most basic, spiritual development is what the whole of our faith lives is about. Therefore, anyone involved in the continuing development of our faith lives is involved in spiritual development ministry. For those of us who specifically identify as part of this ministry in St. John’s, the focus is on helping the parish community and parishioners individually to grow in their spiritual lives through education programs, Bible studies, and by providing resources for growth.
We hope to be able to continue to contribute to the life of our church in these ways. We also hope to be facilitators and helpers to other ministries in the parish as they, each in their own way, help us to grow in our lives of the Spirit.
