Spiritual Formation is foundational to who we are. For ACOM, the learning process is not simply intellectual - it is about spiritual transformation. We care about the individual you are becoming and here’s why: we know that healthy, sustainable and effective graduates will be well grounded spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially.
We want you to be successful for the long haul and we know that students who have performed the challenging inner work of spiritual formation are more likely to adapt, survive and thrive when things in life go wrong. Personal disasters can be faithforming or faith-destroying. In our experience, what makes the difference is your connection to God, found through deep spiritual formation and spiritual disciplines.
To lead spiritual transformation, leaders must first be transformed themselves. We don’t just run classes on formation; we help each student explore their own personal journey of self-awareness, social development, spiritual understanding and faith surrender.
This process is a transformational journey - going deep to be released for personal mission. To engage in spiritual formation is to commit to the journey of becoming deeply faithful, spiritually minded, self-aware and resilient, connecting our heads, hearts and hands in transforming ourselves and our world.
Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
- ROMANS 12 : 2 (NLT)
