MB Story
Appreciating the highs and lows, the work of God, and the works of people, is largely a function of entering the story. In this course, students will talk about the MB Story. As the class journeys together, each person will enter the story and discern how it is part of God’s story. It is still being written, so each person will need to prepare to write their portions together.
MB Convictions – Engaging in the World
If being a Christian is about personally confessing Jesus as Lord, what does it mean to be a community of disciples engaging the mission of the church in the world? Why are Mennonite Brethren so specific about what it means to live as disciples? This course will focus on the key missional elements of discipleship as articulated in the MB Confession.
