MVBC Adult's Ministry
In our ministry to adults (anyone 18 or older), MVBC does not have singles, men's, women's, or college ministries as formal ministries. That does not mean we don't minister to these demographics, only that we don't feel as if we must gear an entire ministry toward a particular group to reach that group.
This philosophy, along with a driving passion that church consists not of a building and not merely of preaching and singing, but in being the body of Christ and sharing life together, has driven us to funnel all our adult ministry in and through our Connection Groups Ministry. Our Connection Groups serve as the primary way we do our ministries to men, women, single or married, young adults and not so young. We gather together in recognition of our inability to do life alone. Our hope is to create unity in diversity as people interact with those who are perhaps a little unlike themselves.
This philosophy and practice begins with a theology from our understanding of God and His scriptures. This theology affects the philosophy of ministry which each church operates by and within. Finally, this philosophy, affects the practical outworking of a local body. We believe in an incarnational, missional, sacrificial model which seeks depth over width. We pray, and work, that our practice lines up with these beliefs.
