Spiritual Formation
Spiritual Formation is the continual process of growth through God’s consistent love in which He shapes us to be more like Christ and equips us to do the work of Christ.
To come alongside and help the adults at WRCC do just that, we offer a variety of classes for adults. Some of our classes run for a semester, others a shorter period of time.
CLASSES
Practicing the Way
Wednesdays, Jan 8-Feb 19 | 6:30-8pm
Room 109 | Led by: Tim Rhee
Our spiritual formation as Christ followers is never haphazard. Rather, it requires intentionality and deliberate practice. This 6-week study of John Mark Comer’s book, Practicing the Way, gives a compelling picture of discipleship as “apprenticeship to Jesus”. Together, we will define spiritual formation and also explore different rhythms and practices to aid our faith journey.

GROUPS
Small Groups
We believe that God never meant for us to do life alone. We were created to walk with each other, to grow in Christlikeness with one another, and to glorify God together. Small Groups at WRCC are typically made up of 5-12 individuals who gather together on a regular basis for the purpose of spiritual formation – growing in Christ. Through Bible study, prayer, community building, and service opportunities, our Small Groups seek to be transformed together.
Currently, we have men’s groups, women’s groups, and co-ed groups
meeting. For more information about joining a Small Group, email smallgroup@windsorroad.org.

Women's Book Club
2nd Saturdays, Jan-May | 10am-12pm
