Are you longing for a deeper, more abiding life with Jesus—one that’s shaped by grace, rooted in community, and grounded in rhythms of intentional spiritual formation? The ABIDE Yearlong Cohort invites you into a deeply formative experience of apprenticing with Jesus alongside others. Through the wisdom of spiritual guides such as Henri Nouwen, Dallas Willard, and Molly LaCroix, you’ll explore practices including crafting a personal Rule of Life, engaging with the Enneagram as a tool for spiritual growth, and learning to live in the freedom and joy of abiding. This journey also includes a spiritually focused weekend retreat and rich opportunities to grow together in meaningful community.

This academic-year discipleship cohort begins September 8, 2026, and concludes early June, 2027. We’ll gather twice per month on the second and fourth Tuesday, with no scheduled meetings in November. This experience is open to anyone who has completed at least one of the following: the ABIDE 6-Week Discipleship Cohort, an ABIDE Weekend Retreat, or the ABIDE Summer Book Club . The cohort is available in-person for those in the Redlands area, and also offers a fully online option for those outside the region.

If you’re sensing this might be the next step in your spiritual formation journey with God, we’d love to walk alongside you.
