Spring 2014 An Invitation For You
What is The PATH of Intentional Discipleship?
Brandywine Valley Baptist Church introduces people to Jesus
Christ and helps them follow Him.Followers of Christ seek to know
Him, grow in Him, and go into the world with Him. The churchhelps
them through public worship, small groups, classes and
opportunities to serve.
The PATH of discipleship is… A way of life An individual journey
An intentional step of faith Lived out in community
As you progress in knowing Christ, you grow in Christ and you
serve Him. As you serve Him, youcome to know Him better. The PATH
is not linear, it is circular. Anyone can start on the PATH atany
time and grow spiritually.
This booklet lists the various groups existing at BVBC that
allow you progress on the PATH. Theywill help you to:
have time with God, be accountable to live a fruitful life,
understand the Bible, be involved in the Christian community
(BVBC), understand your talents and abilities in Christ, and help
you serve Him.
We urge you to read through this booklet and get involved (if
you are not already) in one or moreof the groups listed. We know it
will benefit your walk with Christ.
So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard
about you. We ask God to give youcomplete knowledge of his will and
to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then theway you
live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will
produce every kind of goodfruit. All the while, you will grow as
you learn to know God better and better. (Colossians 1:9-10New
Living Translation)
In His love,The Pastoral Staff andBoard ofBrandywine Valley
Baptist Church
