This project takes as its thesis the premise that members of a congregation grow significantly in spiritual formation as a result of regular participation in the Sunday morning worship of a church. The method which this project follows is experiential and mystagogical. The project concludes that significant growth in spiritual formation can and does take place in the worship service. Second, initial responses of long-time members differed significantly from initial resonses of 'beginners in faith'. Third, lay leaders often carry leadership burdens which sometimes hinder their ability to participate fully in worship. Fourth, the person of the pastor plays a large role in the spiritual formation of the congregation. Finally, the project points to the ways in which traditional community memory can be evoked from individual memories.
