The ministry of spiritual mentoring is designed to help one another pay attention and discern the ongoing movement of God in your life. Mentors are not experts. Rather, they are those whose rich and experienced spiritual journey has enabled them to help others navigate spiritual challenges, grow in their knowledge of God, and deepen their intimacy with Christ.
How do I know if spiritual mentorship is right for me?
You don’t have to be in spiritual crisis in order to benefit from a mentor. In fact, scripture suggests that mentorship is something every Christian should seek at various points in their spiritual journey. Jethro and Moses, Paul and Timothy, Jesus and his disciples all illustrate the importance of being discipled ourselves. It is very common for someone to seek a spiritual mentorship at all levels and stages of their spiritual maturity:
Those who are new to faith
Those experiencing doubt
Those who need new spiritual disciplines
Those whose faith life has gone stale
Those who have theological questions
Those wrestling with their calling (vocation)
…and more!

Overview: What is spiritual mentorship?
Spiritual mentorship is not therapy or counseling. Rather, think of it as the gift of spiritual companionship. Our mentors are simply those who have a lot of experience navigating the Christian life and want to share the wisdom, perspective and tools they’ve acquired along the way. What you can expect after filling out the interest form is our Director will be in touch about finding the right pairing for you. Mentors generally meet with their mentees once a month. They have been trained in asking you questions, listening deeply about your experience, and then, using our ORDO framework, offering guidance and suggestions for how you can grow deeper in faith!
Please know that all mentor/mentee relationships are held in strict confidentiality. Further, our Director will check in every 3, 6, and 9 months to make sure this mentoring relationship is still serving you well.
