Formed – Grace & Purpose

FORMED School of Discipleship is a dynamic and holistic Christian spiritual growth plan led and hosted by Grace & Purpose Church designed to help people build a life in Christ that’s marked by peace, joy, abundance, and resilience.

At Grace & Purpose, we believe that God is interested in every aspect of our life. So, using a unique digital and in-person approach, our focus is meeting you where you are and equip you to thrive spiritually, relationally, emotionally, occupationally, financially, and physically. We believe that as Christ is formed in us, there isn’t a single part of our life that isn’t touched, redeemed, and transformed into His image and likeness.

Announcement of Spring Cohorts

Our launch in the Spring of 2025 will offer three distinct communities:

Spiritual Formation

The journey of Christ’s image, nature, and character being formed in us.

Coordinator & Coach: Travis Hall

In the spiritual formation cohort, you’ll learn how to grow and live from your true identity in Christ, cultivate a healthy God image, learn to read the Bible in proper context and apply it to your life, discover how God relates to us, and in turn how He invites us to relate to Him. The more Christ is formed in us, the more we experience the abundant life He has planned for us.

Health & Wellness

Cultivate physical and emotional wholeness for peace, joy, and longevity.

Coordinator & Coach: Tina Hall

The Health & Wellnes cohort is based off an 8-week program called Fit4Purpose, designed to help you reach your optimal health. Whatever you do in this life, you will need your body to do it. Feeling your best is vital when walking in your God given purpose. Fit4Purpose helps people step out of diet culture and develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. Students will learn how to feel their best by discovering the physiological and psychological cues that impact their eating habits and, ultimately, their total well-being! Let's make peace with food and find food freedom together!

Relational Health

Learn skills to build relationships that are marked by joy and authentic.

Coordinator & Coach: Angela Rush

Join us in exploring tools that foster healthy relationships across all aspects of our lives. Through a hyper-focus on core needs and soul care, this cohort will provide a clear route through the wall of unhealthy, repetitive behaviors, leading to the joy of discovering genuine love for ourselves and others. By faith, we will take the gift that our past experiences have given us, root them deeply in truth, and learn to navigate the world with resilience and confidence, allowing our unique relational strengths to flourish in any situation!

Financial & Occupational Development

Learn foundational financial tools, wealth generation, and how to discover the joy in God’s purpose for your life.
