Spiritual Formation

We are Christians.  We believe that a personal relationship with God is an essential part of our Being that needs instruction, nurture, and community. While The Samaritan Women will accept and care for young women and families of all faiths, it is important to communicate to you our beliefs and practices.

One of our primary areas of focus is to help your daughter grow and mature as a spiritual being. We believe that it will be up to her to define her relationship to God; however, we can help facilitate that exploration through what we do, how we interact, and with our own lives. Some of the activities we encourage to stimulate your daughter’s spiritual formation may include:

• journaling
• participating in Bible study
• scrapbooking
• community service
• prayer partners
• literature reading and reflections
• daily “Praise and Petitions”
• art projects, poetry, singing, drama, and other creative expressions.

Residents with privileges to leave the property are permitted to attend the house of worship of their choice, providing TSW can make arrangements for transportation and supervision.  A home-church service will be offered to those who do not have this privilege and who choose to participate.
