Formation Communities Focused on intentional living and spiritual formation, Candler’s formation communities provide students a distinctive opportunity to live and grow in faith alongside their peers. Each formation community creates a “rule of life” at the beginning of the academic year to guide their days together. Communities are organized around shared prayer, shared table, and shared celebration, and each is coordinated by a student rector who provides day-to-day leadership and a faculty chaplain who provides worship leadership and long-term guidance. For more information about Formation Communities, contact of the Office of Student Life at 404.727.4430 or email candlerosp@emory.edu.
