Spiritual Growth Resources
Jesus proclaimed the two greatest commandments on which hang all the law and the prophets: love of God and love of neighbor.
When your church provides opportunities for relationship enrichment and skills practice, it equips people to improve their “horizontal” relationships with their friends, family, children, and spouses (love of neighbor).
This catalog includes resources your church can deploy to help people improve their “vertical” relationship with the Lord (love of God) through personal and group prayer and spiritual growth programs.
