HOW WE FOLLOW JESUS AT MISSION CITY
Jesus said... "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself
and take up his cross daily and FOLLOW ME."
A CHRIST FOLLOWER ABIDES WITH GOD,
CONNECTS WITH THE CHURCH,
AND SHARES WITH THE WORLD.
ABIDE
It’s impossible to follow Christ
without abiding in Him.
JOHN 15:4
CONNECT
God has designed His church as a body.
In order to follow Christ,
I must engage in His family.
ROMANS 12:5
SHARE
A true follower of Christ cannot hoard their faith.
They are compelled to share and multiply it in others.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:20

GOD - GATHER - GROUP - GIVE - GO
We believe that a follower of Jesus Christ is someone who makes intentional time to meet with God daily. When we do this, we grow into greater maturity and experience greater fruitfulness for the Lord. He is the vine, we are the branches, apart from Him we can do nothing.
We believe that a follower of Jesus is someone who is committed to the weekly gathering of believers. The Sunday service is an essential aspect of the Christian life. We gather to worship through song, hear the word preached, and enjoy the blessing of being with our church family.
We believe that the follower of Jesus was intended to live life in community with others. We need friends and family to encourage us, mourn with us, and celebrate with us as we walk through life together. We need others to intentionally help us in our pursuit of Christ.
We believe that a follower of Jesus is someone who uses all that they have been given for God. Christ followers use their talent, time, and treasure to see the kingdom of God advance. The follower of Jesus gives of themself with a heart of joy because the Lord loves a cheerful giver.
We believe that the follower of Jesus is someone who is actively living out the Great Commission. They are spending their time and energy to take the gospel to the nations to see the lost come to find saving faith in Jesus Christ.
