Spiritual Formation

Growing Together

At Point University, the most important question we ask is not “Where are you spiritually?” We are more interested in the question,“Where can you be?” Spiritual formation is about the whole person – and we strive to provide opportunities in a variety of contexts for spiritual growth for the whole person.

Formation in Every Vocation

As our mission states, our purpose is to “educate students for Christ-centered service and leadership throughout the world.” That’s why our goals are for:

Every student to see community ministry as an essential part of what it means to say, “Jesus is Lord”
Every student to see the importance of integrating faith and vocation
Some students to sense that they are called to ordained ministry as vocation

Community Formation

Point has a number of opportunities for students to connect with one another as a spiritual community. Our monthly chapel services encourage students, faculty and staff to gather together for worship, fellowship and teaching, and our Form Groups allow students to meet with a group to study the Bible together. We also partner with a local campus ministry, Feast. Feast hosts a weekly gathering, small groups and exciting activities for all residential students.

Student Expectations

As a Christian university, Point expects all members of the community to conduct themselves with integrity, kindness and respect. Point University seeks to provide and cultivate a nurturing community where students and employees can encounter and deepen their relationship with Jesus.

Residential students are expected to abide by the Honor Code — a set of guidelines designed to uphold the dignity of our entire community.

The Great Co-Mission

Our spiritual formation theme for the 2024-25 academic year is “The Great Co-Mission,” which is based on Matthew 28:19-20, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
