Spiritual Formation
Spiritual Formation
Spiritual Formation initiatives at Point University are all about helping students, no matter their past or their story, recognize the ways that God is trying to form and shape them into the people He wants them to be.
Worship
At least once a month, the students, faculty, and staff of Point University gather for chapel. Chapel is a powerful time of worship and teaching that is accessible to anybody, no matter where they might be on their faith journey. You can see chapel dates, and other upcoming events, here.

Community
Nestled in the center of Point’s campus is the Feast House. In the Bible, beautiful things happen when people feast together: lives are transformed, friends become family and people discover their God-given purpose. The Feast House is the hub for community-building and spiritual growth opportunities (like small groups and Bible studies) at Point.
Every Tuesday evening, you can make your way to Feast for a home-cooked meal and to spend time with some good people.
Discipleship
Throughout each semester, our students and faculty lead various Bible studies and small groups. These studies and groups vary in content but are aligned in their mission: to help students, regardless of their past or their story, take steps toward Jesus.
If you feel God calling you to lead a Bible study or small group, contact Nathan Jones, Director of Spiritual Formation.
Hands-on Ministry Experience
Point University’s Spiritual Formation initiatives are focused on three main categories:
OUT: Building relationships with students, no matter where they are on their faith journeys.
IN: Coming alongside students to help them discover the ways God wants to form and shape them.
UP: Providing spaces in which the Point community can worship God through prayer, singing, and reflecting on His Word.
We provide leadership opportunities for current students and internships for recent graduates who want hands-on experience in the “Out, In, Up” aspects of ministry.
If you are a current student and interested in ministry leadership opportunities, email Nathan Jones, Director of Spiritual Formation.
