FAITH FORMATION IS THE PROCESS OF BECOMING
MORE LIKE CHRIST FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS.
"...until Christ is formed in you." Galatians 4:19
Faith Formation is MPCC's ministry to believers in Jesus Christ who want to take next steps in growing in their faith and in becoming more like Christ for the sake of others. A variety of classes are available that focus on Biblical and Theological studies, personal spiritual growth and Christian living, and specialized ministry training. These classes that meet both in our learning spaces at the Greenwood campus and online will encourage you to explore the important truths of the faith and inspire you to receive the valuable knowledge needed to live a life fully devoted to Jesus.

Conversations: Living the Good News
October 26-November 16, 2025
Sunday Mornings at 9am
Room C102
Sharing your faith doesn’t have to be intimidating, awkward, or scripted. Conversations: Living the Good News is a practical Next Steps class designed to help you share the love and truth of Jesus in everyday moments—through authentic, relational conversations. Jesus met people right where they were, speaking with grace, truth, and compassion. In this class, you’ll learn how to do the same. Together, we’ll explore how to engage in meaningful spiritual conversations with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors—without pressure or pretense.
We’ll cover topics such as listening well, asking good questions, sharing your story, responding to tough questions, and recognizing everyday opportunities to bring Jesus into the conversation naturally. This isn’t about having all the right answers—it’s about living the Good News in a way that invites others to discover it for themselves.

PRACTICING THE WAY
January 18-March 8, 2026
Sunday Mornings at 9am
Room C101
What if following Jesus isn’t just about believing the right things but about becoming the kind of person He was? Practicing the Way, inspired by the teaching and resources of John Mark Comer, is a transformational course that invites you to recover the ancient path of apprenticeship to Jesus through intentional, embodied practice. In this class, we will explore the core practices of Jesus—such as Sabbath, silence and solitude, prayer, Scripture, simplicity, and community—not as religious duties but as rhythms of life that shape us into Christlikeness. Through teaching, guided practice, and group discussion, you’ll learn how to adopt these spiritual habits in a sustainable, life-giving way.
Whether you are new to spiritual formation or looking to go deeper, Practicing the Way offers a clear, accessible framework for living out your faith with purpose, depth, and joy. This course is ideal for anyone desiring a deeper life with God—whether you're spiritually curious, weary of surface-level faith, or ready to reshape your life around the practices of Jesus.
