God has designed us for holistic growth. . . physically, mentally, emotionally and most definitely spiritually. If you are hungry for more of what the Lord has to do in you and through you, Cultivate will help give focus to what is needed to “have the roots of your being firmly and deeply planted in Him. . .” Colossians 2:7
The mission of Cultivate is to facilitate deeper spiritual life development in the lives of officers and soldiers of The Salvation Army.
Christ must continually be formed in us by:
- the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2)
- the work of the Holy Spirit (John 16)
- the role of spiritual disciplines (Romans 12:1)
- being part of Community (1 Corinthians 12)
- living out our faith for the sake of others (Matthew 28:18-20)
Cultivate introduces or rejuvenates the officer/soldier to classic Christian writers and tried and true disciplines which stimulate growth and maturity and, with an openness to the Holy Spirit, gives rise to a lifetime of spiritual health.
As part of the 12-month online Cultivate cohort, the officer/soldier will be involved in a prescribed reading schedule, online discussion, written reflection papers and retreats for the individual and in community.
