Until Christ Is Formed In You - September 1, 2012, sermon by Alex Bryan
The Spiritual Development emphasis of the Walla Walla University (WWU) Church is to provide means for members to develop, deepen and share their relationship with their Savior. The goal is that as we behold Christ, we will be a people transformed in the image of Jesus.
“But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
(2 Corinthians 2:16-18)
“As we meditate upon the perfections of the Saviour, we shall desire to be wholly transformed and renewed in the image of His purity”
(Steps to Christ, pp. 88, 89).
The spiritual development opportunities offered are Jesus focused, biblically based, and thoroughly Adventist. We resonate with the statement of Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary on Biblical Spirituality.

This time of worship is led by Alden Thompson.
PRAYER HOUSE
The WWU Prayer House is a place where students can get away from the busyness of their daily schedule and spend time with God or meet together with a small group for Bible Study. It is open daily from 3pm-10pm. WWU Church members are certainly invited to come as well and pray during that time. If anyone would like to volunteer to help keep it open daily from 3pm-10pm, contact the WWU Chaplains Office.
