About the Rueben Job Institute for Spiritual Formation

The Rueben Job Institute is an initiative for continuing education in spiritual formation, developed by Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. We are pleased to honor Bishop Rueben Job in this initiative. As an alumnus of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Bishop Job’s ministry has pioneered spiritual formation practices within the United Methodist Church. Garrett-Evangelical has continued this pioneering work through the development of the United Methodist Professional Certification in Spiritual Formation and spiritual formation/direction specializations throughout our degree programs.

The Institute is pleased to partner with Hearts on Fire: United Methodist Spiritual Directors and Retreat Leaders, A Covenant Community of Spiritual Directors, and Nouwen Legacy in launching continuing education courses in spiritual formation/direction.

Participate with us in this work.

We are pleased to announce the full funding of the Rueben Job Endowed Professor of Spiritual Formation. For the full range of spiritual formation/direction programs at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, visit: www.garrett.edu/spiritual.
