Spiritual Formation

(Scroll to the end of this page for current and special events)

Much like clay is formed in the hands of the potter, we too are formed in the hands of the Holy Spirit.  Spiritual formation is simply the work the Holy Spirit does to form or shape us.  Some simply call it spiritual growth, others may refer to it as discipleship, while others see it as becoming more like Jesus.  The Holy Spirit continues the bringing back work of Christ by working in our lives today to more fully restore His image.  We, then, have the opportunity to cooperate with His purposes in our lives, in the lives of one another, and in all of creation.

Our desire at Jenks Church is to be more aware of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the world around us.  From devotional guides, to a labyrinth walk, to Small Groups, we offer various activities to engage in spiritual formation.  Be sure to check the calendar and events pages for current and upcoming activities.  Everyone is welcome!

Adult Bible Fellowship

All adults are invited, encouraged and expected to participate in the ongoing process of Spiritual Formation. A variety of classes are offered throughout the year and are designed to contribute to the spiritual formation of the individual. Some class sessions are intergenerational, others are by topic and still others are offered according to life stages. In this way participants are able to gain wisdom and insight from a variety of different voices. Jenks Church is blessed to have gifted teachers willing to be part of the ongoing spiritual formation process.

The ongoing process of spiritual formation in the life of one who follows Jesus is accomplished through surrender and dedication. To manage life and create time for the specific purpose of considering the way of God can be challenging and yet the reward is life changing. The sacred writings reveal the movements of God to be much like air and water. Discernable but not visable. Fluid and refreshing. Both essential to life. To connect with God is to be sustained. To commune with God is to live expectantly. Join our family this spring in a divine pursuit.   

Small Groups

A significant aspect of Spiritual Formation occurs within a fellowship or community of likeminded believers who gather in smaller groups on a consistent basis to study, pray, fellowship and consider God together. These are the people who become your 3 AM friend. The people you know you can count on at any time of day or night.

Jenks Church small group ministry is called LifeLines. Groups have the option of meeting on Sunday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 PM while children attend Kingdom Kids Classes and Kidz Klub and Students participate in the Student Ministry. Lifeline members will be part of a rotation providing teachers in children's classes. Groups are able to meet at the Ministry Center or at off campus. 

Adult Lifelines create opportunities to build lasting relationships and include Bible study, fellowship and prayer.

Cloud of Witnesses

The "Cloud of Witnesses" or "The Cloud" as it is most often referred to is an online Prayer Support Group comprised of  Jenks Church friends and family. Prayer requests are continuously posted and hundreds of individuals join together to influence God through the power of prayer. Some members of this community post written responses to "The Cloud", others choose simply to pray for the specific request. Specific prayers are requested at all times of the day and night knowing that "The Cloud" is  prayerfully and humbly approaching the Father and asking for his divine intervention. To become part of "The Cloud" prayer community please contact Lynessa Yeats.
