Spiritual formation transforms disciples of Jesus, making us more and more like him.

Formation and Prayer

Formation and Prayer at Greenwood

“Our lives gradually become brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.” – Eugene Peterson, The Message, 1 Corinthians 3:18

Soaking Prayer

Soaking Prayer services are quiet 1-hour drop-in prayer services scheduled periodically. You’re invited into a peaceful space filled with quiet music to be with God and to bring Him your needs. Come to pray, read, journal, or simply rest in His presence. Prayer teams will circulate and silently pray for you. Learn more about Soaking Prayer in this video.

Spiritual Direction

God designed us to need one another. When we meet with a spiritual director, that person helps us discern what the Lord is up to in our lives at that moment and how we can best respond. A spiritual director can help us get “un-stuck” in our relationship with God and continue to grow into Him. Please contact Jasona Brown for a referral.

In-Service Prayer

Prayer ministers are available to pray with you during our Sunday morning services. Confidentiality is always honored. We hope you let us seek the Lord with you for peace, encouragement, rest, or any form of healing (relational, physical, emotional, or spiritual).

Practicing Life with Jesus

Jesus invites us to “follow Him,” to adopt His practices, so that He can shape more of His LIFE and character in us across our lifetime.

Healing Presence

Prayer ministers will meet with you for more extended prayer sessions to support and facilitate a deep personal interaction between you and Jesus, allowing Jesus to restore your soul. The Healing Presence can help people heal from trauma, anxiety, grief, guilt, unforgiveness, destructive memories, demonic oppression, and other painful struggles.

Counseling

Counseling can help us understand ourselves more deeply and equip us with life-skills. If you feel the need of a counselor, please contact Jasona Brown and she can help you choose from a referral list of dedicated Christian counselors.

LIFE WITH JESUS GUIDE

Discerning Your Next Step

We can see in scripture that Jesus arranged his life around three rhythms: worship, community, and mission. We have identified six core discipleship commitments that we aspire to in our journey as a disciple of Jesus. These core commitments give clarity to the rhythms and are supported by the practices. We developed a resource to help you discern your next step with these commitments and practices called, “The Life with Jesus Guide: Discerning Your Next Step.”
