Spring 2023 Discipleship Classes
At Mission Church, we make disciples who live loved and sent to the glory of God. We provide a pathway to grow as a disciple by encouraging you to live in small groups, learn in classes, serve on teams, and contribute as families. Our Discipleship Pathway is purposefully crafted to help you become established in the faith. It’s built so that, no matter if you are new to following Jesus or have been walking with Him all your life, you will grow in your agility in the gospel and be strengthened in the way of Christ.
We encourage you to find where you can join our Discipleship Pathway and take the next step in finding your place in the Mission.

We know in our head that God is for us, that there’s great hope in His relationship with us and salvation for us, but sometimes these truths can be hard to believe in the midst of exhaustion, busyness, and a world of spiritual and physical opposition. If God Is For Us is a Bible Study on Romans 8 designed to cement in your soul the great truths of our salvation and an understanding for how the Holy Spirit guides our new life in the Spirit.

The concept of becoming a disciple is central to the entire message and mission of Jesus Christ. After having been crucified and resurrected from the dead, Jesus gave His followers—the disciples—a clear command: to go to the whole world and make disciples. This class is designed to take you through a simple process of examining the Bible for yourself and carefully thinking through what it means to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. Whether you’re a new Christian or have walked with Christ for many years, this class will ground you in foundational teaching for the mission that every disciple is called to by Jesus Christ.

Two of the greatest needs in life are finding a sense of belonging and purpose. Belonging comes from a sense of family. In the fullest and most powerful sense, belonging is enjoyed within true community. The concept that we belong to a family and that our family belongs to a larger family—the church—is foundational to enjoying a healthy sense of belonging. However, it is not just enough to belong to a family and a community. We must belong to a community of purpose. This class will establish you in the first principles of community life.

In this class, participants will take a radically different approach to the habits of the heart. God never intended our lives to be based solely on a set of individual daily habits, but rather on a whole life orientation that grows out of family and community life. We are not to gain insights from the Word fundamentally in isolation but from disciplines in all spheres of our lives. God carefully designed these habits to guide each believer into a life in which Christ can richly dwell in our hearts, resulting in our entire lives being transformed by our calling.
