Spiritual formation is the activity of the Holy Spirit which molds our lives into the likeness of Jesus Christ. This likeness is one of deep intimacy with God and genuine compassion for all of creation. The Spirit works not only in the lives of individuals but also in the church, shaping it into the Body of Christ. We cooperate with this work of the Spirit through practices that make us more open and responsive to the Spirit’s touch, disciplines such as sabbath keeping, works of compassion and justice, discernment, worship, hospitality, spiritual friendships, and contemplative silence.
At ROBC, you will find a variety of opportunities for adults, youth, and children to interact and develop their faith through our Sunday Morning Bible Study Classes, weekly small group offerings, and Wednesday Night Prayer Time and Bible Study programs. Through prayer, sharing of opinions and ideas, and exploring God’s word, we seek to deepen our relationship with God that then manifests itself in our relationship with each other and the surrounding community.
