Christian spirituality through the lens of friendship with GOD provides grounding for the life of faith. Beginning with friendship reminds us that the Christian life is found in a relationship marked by grace and love rather than fear or anxiety. Life with God involves deep roots as well as soaring heights, duty as well as delight, commitment as well as freedom. God wants us to order our lives for the sake of flourishing; he also wants us to be free spirits, who roam this earth with a song in our hearts. It is a truth too often overshadowed by feeble religious efforts: life with God is joyfully expressed in friendship with God.
For the fall, our curriculum will consist of a variety of flexible options related to “Friendship with God”
