Wherever you are in your walk with Christ, there is a next step.
Growing in Christ is MPBC’s churchwide approach to helping people know Christ, grow in faith and character, serve faithfully, and help others grow.
What is Growing in Christ?
Growing in Christ brings together the many ways disciples are formed at MPBC—biblical teaching, worship, relationships, prayer, service, mentoring, small groups, and ministry involvement.
It is not a rigid sequence or a ranking of Christians. It is a framework designed to help each person reflect on where they are, identify meaningful next steps, and receive encouragement along the way.
Embarking on Your Discipleship Journey
At MPBC, Growing in Christ is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ. Wherever you are in your walk with Him, there is a next step.
Through Foundations, Growth, and Multiplication, Growing in Christ helps you strengthen your relationship with Christ, deepen your faith and character, discover meaningful ways to serve, and help others grow in Christ.
You don’t walk this journey alone. Together, we learn, worship, serve, connect, and encourage one another as we grow in Christ.
Foundations

Building a strong relationship with Christ through the gospel, assurance, Scripture, prayer, church community, stewardship, and discovering how God can use you.

Deepening Faith & Character
