SPiritual Formation CenTER
The Kirtland Temple continues as a centering place to gather, to dwell in God's Spirit, to then go forth in Christ's mission.
Through group and personal spiritual retreats, as well as small group gatherings, The Spiritual Formation Center at the Temple serves as a resource of formation and renewal for the Church.
Spiritual formation at the Temple has a long legacy. The builders of the Kirtland Temple wanted to restore the spiritual experiences of the Bible. Key among their hopes was to experience a Day of Pentecost (Acts 2).
The Bible tells us that the original followers of Jesus, known as 'saints,' gathered at the Temple in Jerusalem; the Latter Day Saints mirrored their experience by building the Kirtland Temple where they, too, could tarry until they were endowed or clothed with the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49). They felt this endowment was necessary so they could then go forth into the world filled with the Spirit to share the message of Jesus Christ.
