Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is a never-ending journey in your relationship with God and this world. Growth comes in many different ways:

1. By increasing your knowledge and understanding of God's Word.
2. By increasing your practice of Christ-like qualities through words, deeds and disciplines.
3. By increasing your faith and trust in God.

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 11:1 "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ."

We offer several different types of studies to increase your knowledge as well as different opportunities to serve others. Come grow with us.

Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina (divine/spiritual reading) is an ancient Christian practice of scripture reading and prayer that is intended to bring about communion with God and to increase in the knowledge of God’s word. It is a way of reading scripture that becomes a way of living the scripture. Lectio Divina comprises four elements:
Lectio – Reading the text;
Meditatio – Meditating upon the text;
Oratio - Praying/speaking with God about the text;
Contemplatio – Taking the text within and living it.

Two opportunities for Lectio Divina are offered at Westminster on a weekly basis:
Wednesdays – 10 -11 am in the Chapel, contact Sarah Benson, sandrbenson@aol.com.
Thursdays – 7:45 – 8:30pm in the Conference Room, contact Betty Kane, bkane@guilford.edu.
