What is
Spiritual
Formation?

God created you to live in deep friendship with him, and actually wants you to do so! Spiritual Formation is simply one way to talk about learning what it means to lovingly surrender our whole selves to God's love each day. We see this loving surrender most clearly in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you've been a Christian for years or you're just checking out the church, Jesus invites you to follow him and learn what it means to experience deep friendship with God right now. Each offering you see below is designed to help you do so in a community of people passionately focused on pursuing the same thing.

Wednesday Nights are for anyone at Bay Hope looking to deepen their faith through asking questions we all have. Across all of our campuses, each Wednesday Night will offer a time for dinner, teaching, building relationships, and then space for conversation about the content of each talk.

Small groups

Small Groups at Bay Hope are the best place to actively follow Jesus together with other people. They allow you to form a more tight-knit community around a particular study or service project each season. Within each group, our desire is that you would feel empowered to know God's love in a greater way through both learning and serving together.

unity inspired, mission focused

Each Small Group has 1-2 group leaders and no more than 10 members that are committed to helping each other grow in grace together. To see which groups are open near you, check out the campus closest to you below!
