Clear answers before your next step
Frequently Asked Questions
Understand what each stage is, what it asks, and what it does not promise before you visit, apply, or begin a conversation.
The journey
Explore, Restore, Develop, Realize
Is Explore a formation program?
No. Explore is the doorway: events, guest stays, retreats, workshops, activities, and short visits without a major commitment.
How many formation programs are there?
Three: Restore for one week, Develop for up to three months, and Realize for three months or longer.
Can I begin with Develop or Realize?
Restore is the normal first formation step. A different starting point would require clear evidence of readiness, fit, capacity, and mutual agreement.
Do I move forward automatically?
No. Every stage concludes on its own terms. A next stage requires readiness, alignment, capacity, and a separate mutual decision.
Explore and guest stays
Coming to see the center
Can I request a guest stay?
Yes, when the stay module and capacity are available. A request starts a review; it does not guarantee dates, accommodation, or acceptance.
Where can I see events and workshops?
The Explore page shows live upcoming events and published opportunities whenever the events module is enabled.
Can I arrive without arranging a visit?
No. Use a published event, confirmed guest stay, or another agreed pathway so the center can prepare and protect its shared rhythm.
Is accommodation the main offer?
No. Accommodation supports a meaningful visit or formation stage. The purpose and relationship come first.
Formation and outcomes
Honest expectations
Does Restore guarantee healing?
No. Restore creates a focused environment for attention, truth, rhythm, and reflection. No specific emotional, spiritual, or health outcome is promised.
Does Develop always last three months?
No. It lasts up to three months and may conclude sooner according to goals, fit, capacity, or an agreed next step.
Does Realize guarantee a long-term home or job?
No. It requires a real responsibility and separate agreement. Participation does not guarantee employment, authority, residency, or permanence.
Does Realize mean I have finished growing?
No. Mission embodiment includes continued restoration, formation, feedback, repentance, learning, and dependence upon God.
