Discipleship | Small Groups: Theology of Spiritual Formation

Profile

943 Sanctuary Lane Naperville, IL npc@npchurch.org (630) 961-0579
The goal of Discipleship at NPC is to infect all people with joy in God's glory and a passion to become like him. We want to intentionally connect men, women and children in small group communities, spiritual relationships which help individuals toward: a growing familiarity with God's Word, a greater knowledge of God, a deeper relationship with Christ, and an increasing responsiveness to the Holy Spirit toward experiencing and applying the Gospel to life.
Discipleship helps individuals, couples and families engage in intentional community with the purpose of helping one another be more like Christ: taking the gospel (the good news about Jesus Christ and what he did on the cross) and applying it to everyday life experiences like driving kids to school, managing a team at work, raising children, and working in the yard.
Discipleship includes the activities of welcoming, discovering, learning, connecting, becoming a member, engaging in small groups, finding leadership roles, and serving in the church and local community.

Theology of Spiritual Formation

Each year Wheaton College offers a theology conference on a particular topic. This year's focus is the theology of spiritual formation. Speakers at the conference include Gordon Fee, Dallas Willard, and Jim Wilhoit among a dozen others.

If you are interested in "spiritual formation", i.e. what it means to be spiritually formed by the Holy Spirit into the likeness of Jesus, for the benefit and grace of others, I encourage you to consider attending this conference.

The information on the conference is available here:
