We’ve created a tool to help you self-assess where you are in your spiritual walk – both to celebrate where God’s grace has already been at work in your life, and to prayerfully reflect on an area where you’re sensing a desire to grow.
Use this tool anytime. You can revisit it later. Take some quiet time to think and pray about it. If you’d like a conversation partner, we’d be honored. Contact us here.
Knowing where to turn for trustworthy spiritual resources is tough! We’ve compiled a list of our go-to recommendations for those just beginning to explore their spirituality all the way through the most mature disciples. It includes spiritual practices and books – many of them are available for check out in our church library (visit the church office M-Th from 9-12 for directions). This list pairs well with our Disciple Growth Quiz, which will guide you to the sections which will be most helpful for you today.
