In a world that is pulling us toward distraction, isolation, consumption, comparison, and artificial ways of living, what does it look like to reclaim the fullness of our humanity?
Becoming is an 8-month discipleship journey designed to help you wake up to how you are being formed, devote yourself to what truly matters, and actively participate in God's work of restoration. Through Scripture, community, spiritual practices, meaningful conversations, and hands-on experiences, you'll rediscover what it means to be fully human as image-bearers of God. This track is for anyone longing to move beyond passive consumption and become a person who creates beauty, restores what is broken, and helps move the human project forward.

Good question! Sort of yes, sort of no. The groups are small, and you do grow in community together. We read and study scripture, but we also read books about our faith. We pray together. We get chances to eat together. We laugh together and walk alongside each other encouraging one another through whatever life brings. We take in and reflect on content before we meet (an hour or two per week), so that our time together can be spent really digging into the topics.

Another great question! Yes! Coaches might use zoom if there is inclement weather, but the goal is to get us into community face-to-face.
If you’ve been a part of discipleship for a while, this is a shift we’ve been making. Consistently feedback is that groups are more impactful in person. -

The Welcome Week is Sept 13th!
Our typical group meeting times are Mon, Tues, or Wed 7:00-8:30 PM, but there are groups that will meet at some alternative times. -
You'll have a group of about 8-10 people including two coaches! We are very intentional about ensuring groups are intergenerational, because there is so much we can learn from each other in all different stages of life. There is no other space like it…oh wait! Heaven.
Some tracks are co-ed and some are gender specific! You can see which one in the registration.

The tracks are led by a track memory verse that sets the course of study. There are multiple sessions that are separate, yet related studies across the track.
Each week there is an essential question that we respond to with scripture and then we fill in the discussion with what we have been learning from other sources.
The resources are intentionally curated for us to stay curious. They include a diverse range of voices from inside and outside of our community.
In each track, there is -
at least 1 book study
reading + discussion of scripture
videos or podcasts created with members of the Hill City or larger Richmond community
often you will encounter BibleProject resources too!
