In the Great Commission, Jesus invites us to go and MAKE DISCIPLES of all nations. At CVC, we want to make sure each of us has the opportunity to grow in our spiritual maturity as a follower of Jesus.
On Sabbath, October 11 from 1:30-3:30pm, we are offering four classes. Each class is designed to help us grow deeper in our faith and ministry life. All are invited to participate, including children who are members. Our next one will be in the Spring!
We invite you to start with Class 101. But, if you feel like you already know and practice this level of discipleship, please feel free to begin with any class you feel comfortable with.
Class 101: This is an introduction to our CVC family and invites you to understand, on a deeper level, what it means to be a member of CVC and the body of Christ. You will learn the mission and values of CVC. Refresh the basic doctrines and teachings of CVC and the SDA church. Get to know our church family and understand what it means on a practical level to be part of our church family, including how the church functions and how you can be a functioning part of our family. ALL MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO BE PART OF CLASS 101, especially new members.
Class 201: This is an invitation to a deeper level of spiritual maturity. We will focus on spiritual disciplines and how to have a growing and thriving personal relationship with Jesus. We look specifically at learning how to implement the four habits of a disciple of Jesus: daily time in God's Word, prayer, living generously, and fellowship - including small group membership.
Class 301: This is an invitation to discover your particular area of ministry at CVC and in our community. This class will focus on SHAPE: spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality and experience. We will explore your particular giftedness and calling by God as a way to help you get involved in ministry life, either locally at CVC or in our community and world.
Class 401: This class will help you discover your life mission in this world. You will be trained specifically on God's mission for our world and on your place as part of God's mission. We will learn about how to be a witness in your workplace, school or anywhere you go by developing eyes that see around us, a heart that longs to share, and a prayer focus inviting God to use us for His purposes.
