Discipleship Pathway - La Vina Covenant Church

Sunday Gathering

Consistency in being present and participating in cooperate worship.

We do this because we believe it is what the Lords will for us is. Stretching back through the history of Gods people, Gods desire was for us to worship no other God but him. Looking forward, we see in Revelation that a glimpse into the kingdom of Heaven reveals corporate worship as a big part of our existence. Our vision is to engage in Christ Center, Spirit Led, Transformational Worship.
1 Corinthians 14:26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.
Hebrews 10:25 Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Conexion Group

Consistency in being present and participating in Connection Group.

We believe that we are called to be the body of Christ—to have relationship with each other so that we can care for and love one another better. We believe that care and love is done most effectively through our Connection Groups (CG).
1 Corinthians 12:24-26 While our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Bible Institute

Be on track to be equipped for service in the Bible Institute, faithfully studying the word of God with others.

We believe that in order love God and love others the way Jesus commanded, we need to be ale to learn how to do that the way God Intended. The Bible alone is most trustworthy authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living.
Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Mission and Ministry Teams

Faithful service in a Mission or Ministry team

We believe that Jesus set an example for us by being a servant leader. We do this through serving each other in the church (Ministry) and through serving Gods kingdom by going and sharing the good news of Christ in the World (Mission).
John 13:14-15 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.

Leadership Formation “Mentorship”

In Leadership Formation, discipleship means following someone as they faithfully follow Jesus. It happens constantly through relationships, while mentorship takes it further—inviting someone into shaping Godly character by offering both encouragement (hope) and correction.

We believe growth in Christ is best modeled by following those who have walked faithfully with Him. Paul describes himself as a spiritual father, guiding believers toward maturity in all areas of life (1 Cor. 4:15). We cannot lead others where we haven’t gone ourselves.

“I am not writing this to shame you but to admonish you as my beloved children… In Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. Imitate me as I imitate Christ.” —1 Cor. 4:14–16; 11:1
