DFL: Foundations of Three-Streams Living
Be changed. Be formed. Go deep.
What is deeply formed life?
We want to be a community that creates space for any topics or questions of life. This is a way to gather people with different backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures who all have the shared desire to go deep. We will join together bi-weekly for a lecture and discussion about three-streams living.
What will we do at deeply formed life?
This Spring 2025, we invite you to join us from 7-8:30pm in the Sanctuary to hear a short lecture from Rev. Dave and Rev. Chris. We will take a deep dive into an approach to spiritual living that integrates the transformative power of scripture, the dynamic ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the grounding practice of sacramental rhythms. This class is suited for those brand new to three-stream Anglicanism and for those who are familiar.
Who Can Come?
Anyone is welcome, so feel free to invite friends and family! All Connect Groups are invited to come as a group for the discussion portion.
The youth are invited to go to their own youth nights in the Youth Space each week. Register your youth kiddos HERE.

What is the ministry of the word?
The Word of God is our anchor, offering timeless wisdom and guiding principles for living in alignment with God’s purposes. Emphasis will be placed on Scripture as a living text that continues to speak to our contemporary situations, shaping our thoughts, actions, and identity.
What is the ministry of the spirit?
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit focuses on the personal and empowering relationship we have with the Spirit. Through prayer, discernment, and spiritual gifts, participants will learn how the Holy Spirit works to renew, counsel, and empower us to live courageously and compassionately in an ever-changing world.
What is the ministry of the sacraments?
Sacramental Rhythms bring a sacred cadence to our lives, offering tangible ways to experience God’s presence. Participants will explore practices like using the prayer book, establishing family rhythms as well as personal rhythms of gratitude and service that cultivate a deeper expression of faith in day-to-day life.
