A formational cohort from LifePoint Resources - starting in September 2027

The Sacred Way Community (SWC) is an 18-month formational journey for people who desire a deeper, more sustainable life with God in the company of others.

SWC is a relational and contemplative journey rooted in spiritual formation, shared practices, honest conversation, prayerful reflection, and the slow work of becoming people of love in the way of Jesus.

This experiential cohort is for adult learners on the path of apprenticeship to Jesus. Whether you’re young or old, married or single, working in the church or the marketplace, leading others or serving behind the scenes, you are welcome in this community.

Together, we will explore:

• Relational spiritual formation

• Life with God beyond performance and certainty

• Practices of prayer, presence, and discernment

• Belovedness, healing, and interior transformation

• The integration of soul, story, and everyday life

• Community as a place of grace, honesty, and belonging

This cohort may especially resonate with those who:

• Feel spiritually hungry for something deeper and more experiential

• Long for a more contemplative and relational life with God

• Find themselves somewhere between disillusionment and hope

• Desire companionship on the journey with Jesus
