Discipleship

At Maywood EFC our Vision is "Becoming a People to Reach People for Christ"

Our Mission helps to accomplish that vision through our 4E's: Exalt the Living God, Explain the Word of God, Encourage the Family of God, Extend the Love of God. 

Discipleship is inextricably part of our Vision and Mission. To further Discipleship, we emphasize Worship, Life Groups, Serving and Evangelism.  We also provide classes as an on-going effort to equip and enrich disciples.

Suggestions:

Reach out to a person for the prupose of evangelism at a place you frequent on a regular basis.  If you go to Starbucks - someone you may see there who helps you.

Fast from something in your life.  It doesn't have to be just food.  An example may be an entertainment or social media fast.

Pray about being part of a short-term missions trip - if God is leading-Go.

Get invloved in outreach to your community through your local church.

Get out of your comfort zone.  Is there something God may want you to do to stretch you.

Go on a retreat to spend concentrated time with God.

Take a spiritual gift inventory and serve God.

Get involved in a life group: If you would like to be in a Life Group contact Pastor Dave  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
