Spiritual Formation
at Oak Hill UMC
What is Spiritual Formation?
Christian spirituality is a transformational journey in which we learn to open ourselves up to the love of God and the shaping work of the Holy Spirit. Most of us long for a deeper connection with God, but we often don’t know where to start. That’s where Oak Hill’s Spiritual Formation Ministry comes in. We want to help you get to know God more intimately by showing you how to journey deeper into relationship with God.
We seek to walk alongside you in this journey – no matter whether you’re only just getting started or have been on the road for a long time. On this page you will find information on concrete steps you can take right now to help you deepen your spiritual life: from our new group spiritual direction ministry, to classes and workshops, to Internet resources. It is our prayer that the practices and resources listed on this page will help you experience God’s presence in your hearts, minds and bodies and transform you into disciples who love abundantly.

Prayer
Walk
Prayer walks offer a wonderful opportunity to gather and walk outdoors in neighborhood parks, hiking trails, and on nature preserves such as the Wild Basin.
This is a monthly event, that typically takes place on the first Saturday.

Group Spiritual Direction
Spirituality is a process in which the Sacred is experienced through the continuous actions of giving and receiving within relationships.
Within such relationships individuals and communities are able to experience growth and transformation.
Please join us as we come together to experience the sacred through prayer, reflection, art, conversation and laughter.
Contact Pastor Missy (missy@oakhillumc.org)
or Pam Castles (pcastles@mhm.com) with any questions.
