Next Steps
MULTIPLY: Make Disciples
I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith. Galatians 2:20
Disciples multiply for the sake of the Gospel. Jesus’ ministry depended on this very thing. Our experiences at PV and our personal rhythms equip us to share this life with others. Disciple-makers are intentional with relationships inside and outside the church, with the goal of helping all people move closer to Jesus. They are also intentional about their relationship with God, seeking to become a person of love by habitually practicing a Rule (or Rythym) of Life that helps them experience transformation at the heart level.
To grow as a disciple maker at PV, consider leading or supporting a 2:42 Discipling Group, D-Group or Alpha course or check out the resources below to go deeper in your spiritual formation and neighborhood impact. Contact Lynn Cook for more information on adult groups or reach out to NextGen Minister Jason Baker for information on discipling students.
Remember, it is not about a process or following a list of guidelines. Continue shaping and adjusting your rule of life throughout each season, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform your heart and life. Commit to disciple making, not as a process or assignment, but as an overflow of the love God has for you and the difference He has made in your life.

ENGAGE
CONNECT WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE
Therefore, encourage each other and build each other up. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
The way of Jesus is not for everyone. But when you are ready, we want to make engaging in this church family as easy as possible. We want to walk together with you through life, encouraging, supporting and challenging each other to grow closer to Christ.
Joining the PV family is a simple first step to growing as a disciple at PV. After that, the real partnering and growth begins. We want to help you identify the gifts God has given you and invite you to learn more about connecting to this church and growing as a disciple.
Engaging in a small group provides opportunities to grow as a disciple and be equipped through spiritual formation and soul care.
GROW
BE WITH JESUS. BECOME LIKE JESUS.
We are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory. 1 Corinthians 3:18
Growing as a disciple is much more than attending church. We are patterning our lives after Jesus, growing in community, serving others, giving of our time and resources, and practicing spiritual disciplines.
In your personal walk, a primary tool is developing a “Rule of Life,” a set of rhythms for spiritual formation that help us be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. For more information and resources, see the links below.
