Growth Groups
Vision
To grow in our love for God and others as we “speak truth in love.” (Eph 4:11-16)
Growth groups are designed to help us grow together and deepen relationships through prayer and sermon application. We welcome all who have made MABC their church family.
Small gatherings of 10-14 people commit to meet regularly to deepen relationships and promote greater trust in God and faithfulness in following our King Jesus.
Format
Sermon-based
The word of God transforms our lives. The Bible calls us to stir one another up to love and good works and to allow the word of Jesus to dwell richly in us. Growth Groups spend time talking about the previous sermon to prayerfully apply the truth to all areas of our lives.
Prayer-focused
Christians are family members and naturally our care for one another is expressed in prayer for each other. Growth Groups aim to build communities marked by care and loving concern for each other. Growth groups spend time in praying for the variety of challenges that inevitably face us.
Praying that God would apply his word is a primary way God changes us. Jesus desires us to have our hearts enlightened to know and live out his word.
Relationally driven
As family members, we realize we need each other. We were meant to walk through the Christian life together. These groups aim to create and deepen Christian friendships and support by spending regular time together.
