Intentional Disciplemaking
Typically, today's church growth movement involves more people, bigger facilities, expanding budgets, larger staff and a greater multiplicity of programs. Bertrand Bible Church isn't about growth, but about depth -- spiritual maturity through intentional disciplemaking leaders and communities.
We are told in Ephesians 4:12 that the church is to "equip the believer for the work of service." Bertrand Bible Church is committed to the training and the equipping of the saints to spiritual maturity so they in turn can "train faithful men and women who will be able to teach others also" 2 Timothy 2:2.
This is accomplished through Spiritual Maturity, Outreach, Leadership, Small Groups and Life-To-Life. By Life-To-Life we mean the practice of giving away your life to others from the overflow of your relationship with Christ by investing in them through your walk with God, from the Scriptures and from your life and ministry experiences, in ways that encourage and enable them to invest their lives in others also.
