Lighthouses: MVFF's Small Groups
Our vision is to dedicate our homes to serve as “lighthouses” that will shine the light of Jesus Christ into the communities in which we live, by: (i) establishing a safe and welcoming setting for anyone who is interested in exploring what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ; (ii) fostering a spiritually dynamic environment that will challenge, inspire, encourage, and grow believers in their walks with God; and (iii) providing a sanctuary where those who are wounded, burdened, and oppressed may find healing, rest, and freedom in Christ. Our lighthouses will serve as extensions of our larger church, functioning as smaller churches that minister to the needs of the people in our church, meet the needs of people in their communities, and pursue spiritual growth in Jesus. We believe we are called to be the body of Christ 7 days a week, not just on Sunday. Lighthouses are one of our vehicles for doing that. Lighthouses are led by Lighthouse Pastors, leaders in our body who have served faithfully and who humbly shepherd and love others.
