Spiritual Formation at Tyndale will facilitate the deepening of love for God and others through the practice of spiritual disciplines, spiritual retreats, personal reflections, and communal worship. This program is geared towards teaching students the transformational process of how to become like Jesus, how to facilitate spiritual growth and discernment, how to hear God’s voice, and how to guide others to learn the same as a Spiritual Director.

Faculty will give students an informational and formational learning experience on how to have a deeper relationship with God in their daily life. The program explores Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Celtic church traditions with a focus on an Evangelical perspective of Spiritual Formation. In addition to core academic courses, the program introduces students to off-campus spiritual retreats that integrate silence and solitude, spiritual disciplines, and spiritual exercises.
