Welcome to the Spiritual Formation Toolkit
Our vision here at The Vine is Growing Big People and this toolkit aims to equip, empower and encourage you in your journey on the Christian faith. Spiritual growth happens as we diligently and faithfully invest in our relationship with God. Our heart is for you to dive into the toolkit and invest daily in your relationship with Christ, so that you may be strong in your walk with God and firmly rooted in the gospel as you are released into your spheres of influence.
We are excited for how God will grow you in your individual relationship with him, and how God will grow us corporately, as a church body, as we embark on this journey. Enjoy the Toolkit!
Explore different approaches to Scripture and develop a rhythm for reading the Bible.
Take time to express your love for God and connect with Him through prayer.

How to Use This Toolkit
There are six tools that focus on six different areas of spiritual formation. Each tool consists of an introduction on what that discipline is and why it is important. We recommend several resources, tools and spiritual practices that equip and empower you to deepen and grow your faith. There is also a Going Deeper section for when you wish to invest more time and energy on that area.
We encourage you to dive deep into one tool, one area of spiritual discipline at a time - it may be a month or even longer. There is no set time and we encourage you to follow God’s leading and prompting on how long to spend on each one. These tools can be used individually or in community.
Flourish (Sermon Series)
This toolkit was launched in conjunction with a sermon series - there is a talk that corresponds to each tool.
