our history:

Hole in the Rock Ministries is the Central California Regional Affiliate of Christian Formation and Direction Ministries.

Christian Formation and Direction Ministries [CFDM] is the ongoing ministry of Friends of the Bridegroom Ministries, founded in 1988 by Catherine Gregg to support her personal teaching and speaking ministry of prayer, intercession and spiritual formation. In 2000 Douglas Gregg, her husband, a Presbyterian pastor, professor and author, joined her in the work.

The current vision, and name change to CFDM grew out of their mutual ministries and shared vision for the training and equipping of spiritual directors in the Western United States.

Hole in the Rock Ministries began as CFDM Central California began in March, 2015, when Todd Minturn joined the organization as the Central California Regional Director based in Fresno, CA. Upon incorporating as an independent 501(c)3 organization the name was changed to Hole in the Rock Ministries in January 2018. While the name has changed the vision and mission of the ministry remains the same.
