The God-Centered Life Program

“The God-Centered Life Program” is offered in several formats:

• Quiet, Contemplative Retreats — Individuals and groups are invited to call Shepherd's Spring to schedule personal or small group retreat time. ——-Personal Retreat Time - Individuals are encouraged to use the natural beauty of our setting and a variety of resources for refelection, meditation, and study to renew their special connections with God.
• Small Group Retreats — Small groups are encouraged to use the natural beauty of our setting and a variety of resources for refelection, meditation, and study to discuss and renew their special connections with god. (Shepherd's Spring can provide leadership/facilitation assistance if desired to provide periodic direction and input.)
• Youth, Young Adult, and Youth Leader Retreats — The God-Centered Life Program offers special programming for youth, young adults, leaders of youth, and adult advisors. With today's youth inundated with distructive choices and forces, it is essential that life in the church and time with God breaks through these competing messages. Believing in God isn't the issue; believing that God matters is. Each participant in our Youth to Adult Retreats is challenged to:
  
  • Live in the way of Jesus
  • Be empowered by the Holy Spirit
  • Use the space, time, and tools provided to experience God
  • Live a life of prayer and justice
  • Encounter Jesus every day
  • Identify and banish the false gods that tempt our souls

Spiritual practices used in The God-Centered Life Programs include: Bible study and reflection, fasting, contemplation, rituals, participatory worship, confession and repentance, service to others, and prayer.
