Spiritual Growth

Renovaré Spiritual Formation

These fellowships of two to seven people meet regularly to encourage and hold one another accountable to the practice of spiritual disciplines and balanced growth into Christlikeness.

Participation in a Renovaré Spiritual Formation Group can help you on your journey by providing a balanced vision and a practical strategy for the formation of Christ-like character, with the ultimate goal of learning more and more to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and your neighbor as yourself. If this direction for living your life sounds appealing, contact the Rev. Rod Davis by calling (916-488-3550) or emailing ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Education for Ministry (EfM)

St. Michael's Education for Ministry group is a lively, spiritual, and thought-provoking seminary experience that looks at the Bible, church history, and theology over four years, using materials developed by the School of Theology of Sewanee, Tennessee. We engage in theological reflections, pray together, and share our life experiences. We currently have members from several churches, and we meet Tuesday evenings from September through May. If you're curious about joining next fall, we encourage you to contact the church office and/or join us at one of the EfM-hosted Coffee Hours following the 10 am service. Current students and mentors will be on hand to share their seminar experiences and answer questions. Call the church office and they can connect you to someone who will respond to your interest in EfM.
