Learning experiences built to help you grow in faith
You want to grow in your faith. You've just never been taught how.
That's why we built Formation Labs.
THE CHALLENGE
You wouldn't hand someone keys without teaching them to drive
Most Christians want to grow spiritually – but they’ve been handed content, not skill. Sermons, devotionals, workbooks… all information, none of it teaching you how to actually engage Scripture and your faith.
That gap is why so many good intentions quietly stall out. It’s not a desire problem. It’s a design problem.
How We Think About Growth
Built on a simple conviction: spiritual growth shouldn’t happen by accident.
Learning Experience (n.)
[lur-ning] [ik-speer-ee-uhns]
Most education is built around content – something you read, watch, or listen to. A learning experience is built differently: around practice. Instead of just taking in information, you engage with it – applying, reflecting, and working through real examples as you go. A simple shift that changes how you grow.
Formation Lab (n.)
[fawr-mey-shuhn] [lab]
A single learning experience can teach you one thing. A Formation Lab strings several together. A sequence of experiences, each building on the one before, designed around a single topic. It’s the difference between one good lesson and an actual path toward growth.
Christian Formation Lab (n.)
[kris-chuhn] [fawr-mey-shuhn] [lab]
Now take that same approach and apply it to your faith. A Christian Formation Lab uses this same design – sequences of guided, hands-on learning experiences – to help you grow in a specific area of your walk with God. Not content to consume, but experiences that foster growth.

FAQ
I've tried Bible studies before and quit. Why would this be different?
Most Bible studies give you content. Formation Labs are built like real learning experiences – designed so it actually sticks, not just another workbook you abandon halfway through.
I'm not that "academic." Is this over my head?
Not at all – this isn’t seminary. Formation Labs are built specifically for everyday Christians. No jargon, no prerequisites, just clear guided steps.
I don't have time for a whole course
Start with self-study at your own pace – go as fast or slow as your life allows. When you’re ready for more, the blended cohort format adds live conversation and practice.
Can I bring this to my church?
Yes! Formation Labs aren’t a replacement for your church’s community and discipleship efforts, they’re the instructional design layer that makes your volunteers and small groups more effective
