Discipleship

We believe that healthy disciples of Jesus Christ discover Jesus as their Savior, believe Jesus’s words and fruitfully walk by faith, connect with other Christians in gospel-centered loving community, serve others for the glory of God, and multiply Christlikeness in others.

  • To make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ.

  • It means to follow Jesus after coming to faith in His gospel.

  • A disciple of Jesus is motivated to follow Him in response to the love He demonstrated on the cross.

  • A disciple can only follow Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.

  • The goal of following Jesus is to bring glory to God.

  • Disciples: Discover, Believe, Connect, Serve, and Multiply.

  • MVBC offers classes for each area.

  • Adhering to biblical principles keeps disciples on track.

We have written several core discipleship classes that teach several of these areas of discipleship. The Beginnings Class goes deeper into the Believe Stage by focusing on the basics of what we believe and the basics of who we are as a church. The Community Class goes deeper into the Connect Stage by describing the Bible’s teaching on Gospel-centered community. Finally, the Serve Class goes deeper into the Serve Stage by examining the biblical teaching on spiritual gifts.
