It is always wonderful to hear how someone came to walk with the Lord. Please briefly share your testimony with us. *

If you have recently (within the last year) completed an application that included your testimony, you are welcome to write "on file" in the comments and skip past this section.

Consider sharing your story under three main headings: 1) Before I received Christ, I lived and thought this way . . .; 2) How I received Christ (Be as specific as possible: When did it happen? How did it happen? Why did it happen? Who was involved?, etc.); 3) Now, as I trust Christ, I live and think this way . . . (i.e., how is your life different now than it was before?); 4) What are some Bible verses that have been important to you?

Small Group Commitment

OUR AIM IS TO GLORIFY GOD BY LOVING GOD AND HIS MISSION OF MAKING QUALITY DISCIPLES OF CHRIST. We believe this is best accomplished in the context of community, where believers are able to mutually care for and encourage one another in accountable relationships by growing in Christ-likeness through God’s Word, worship, prayer and witness.

Spiritual Goals:
• Conforming to the image of Christ through my speech, actions, thoughts and desires.
• Growing prayer life, in consistency and faith.
• Becoming a student of the Word of God, in consistent study, in handling it and specific
application to my life.
• Growing relationships with spouse and children (if applicable).
• Growing relationships with other small group members.
• Meaningful service in the church through use of spiritual gifts.
• Involvement in evangelism.

I will make my small group meetings a weekly priority, and if I'm unable to attend or running late, I will call ahead, share my prayer requests and pray for my group members.

I will come to my small group meeting prepared and ready to participate, having prayerfully completed the weekly study.

I will maintain confidentiality of the personal information that is shared within my small group. I understand my small group leader may communicate appropriate information to those in leadership as necessary and I trust his or her discernment in this.

I will avoid both speaking or listening to unhealthy criticism of others and solve conflict biblically. I will help create a safe place for each member to share with no judgments attached.

I will strive to become more and more like Jesus, by the power of the Spirit. I recognize that small group plays a vital role in my growth, therefore, I will invite my group to hold me accountable in my daily personal and spiritual growth.

I will commit to a small group that is open to new members, and, as it grows, we will seek to multiply to further God's work.

I will pray for my small group leaders, apprentices and members of my small group.

I will encourage other members to cultivate daily quiet times with God.

I will pray and support the Pastors, Elders and Leaders of Mission City Bible Church to continue to seek God's direction for the Small Group Ministry.

I agree to respect and recognize the validity of and am committed to live by the ethical/moral guidelines and teachings of the church outlined by the doctrinal statement of Mission City Bible Church.

Thank you for your interest in joining a small group.

One of our Ministry Leaders will be in touch with you shortly to help place you in the appropriate small group.
