Discipleship

NURTURING YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH.

You are called to be more than a believer or fan of Jesus.
You are called to be His Disciple.

We believe to be a Christian is to be a disciple (follower) of Jesus. Our Savior has called each of us to enter a process of deepening in faith and maturity. This process lasts a lifetime. This process of spiritual growth happens in many ways in the course of life and through the ministry of the local church.  (Matthew 28:16-20; 2 Timothy 2:1-7, John 8:31-32, John 15:1-8)

At Monterey, we focus on six biblical practices that help guide our spiritual journey: 

1) Bible Engagement with Passionate Prayer, (what we call a daily quiet time)
2) Wholehearted Worship (Faithful committed participation in Sunday Morning Gatherings)
3) Humble Service (Consistent and committed service to our Body and the larger community)
4) Joyful Generosity (Consistent and faithful with financial offerings, which are investments in the Kingdom of God) 
5) Discipleship through Community (consistent and committed participation in a small group)
 6) Outreach (Investing in the lives of those outside of a relationship with Christ and the Body of Christ and inviting them in) 



DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS

 OUR MISSION at Monterey Church is the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and our Discipleship Program is designed to encourage and equip the Church, one heart and one mind at a time, to fulfill the Great Commission.

Monterey Church Discipleship Program

The Monterey Church Discipleship Program comprises of a three-part training course: Discover, Develop, and Disciple.
Every class builds upon the former, leading you closer to fulfilling God’s plan and purpose for your life.
