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
