The Curriculum For Transformation

The New Church approach centers around a Curriculum for Transformation (CFT). This teaching system invites individuals to gradually deepen their commitment to the transformative process, according to their need and readiness. The Curriculum for Transformation is a journey to awakening in four phases:

DISCOVERY PHASE: SPIRITUAL PRACTICE SESSIONS
Spiritual Practice Sessions provide an experiential entry point to the CFT. Combining movement, interaction, meditation, spiritual teaching and personal sharing, this activity is facilitated by a New Church Minister to holistically integrate the changes one may be experiencing in life. Participants are encouraged to subscribe to a series of sessions as part of a deepening commitment to transformation.

INVESTIGATIVE PHASE: THE COGNITIVE COURSE
The Cognitive Course is an empowering series of forty-nine lessons in seven modules which explore the principles of the psychology of transformation. Ideal for the "solo" seeker as well as the person who attends a Transitional Church. The course stands alone or as an accompaniment to the experiential work that follows in the other parts of this Curriculum.

ENGAGEMENT PHASE: THE MENTOR PROGRAM
The Mentor Program is a growth program held in ten weekend workshops over a two-year period. It is offered to those who are moving beyond Discovery and Investigation to become more available for a larger Life to live through them. The Mentor Program offers a context to engage spiritual teaching through intense self-inquiry, spiritual practice and committed relationship. It creates openings for radical transformation and creative expression.

SERVICE PHASE: SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Available to graduates of the Mentor Program, the two-year Spiritual Leadership Training provides a structure for developing the consciousness and skills for New Church Ministry. Successful completion of this program makes one eligible to apply for licensing and ordination as a New Church Minister.
