RENOVARÉ INSTITUTE FOR CHRISTIAN SPIRITUAL FORMATION
Jesus showed us what it means to be fully alive, living in intimate connection with the Father, ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit. We're invited into that kind of life—life in the Kingdom of the heavens—right here and now.
The Renovaré Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation is a two-year online and in-person school designed to plunge you into that life.
Over the course of two years, students are guided in daily online studies, practice a variety of spiritual disciplines, develop a spiritual community with a small group of co-learners, and experience four-week-long learning residencies in a retreat setting.
Like all things Renovaré, the program is a blend of intellect and experience, of individual and community, of theory and practice, of charismatic and contemplative. It is deeply and unapologetically centered on Christ and rooted in the gospel of the Kingdom.
Cost: $4,750/year for the 2024-2026 Seattle Cohort.
