MBCM Assembly 2026: Missional Disciple Making – March 6-7, Eastview Community Church

Missional leaders make disciples who make disciples. They are committed to multiplying leaders in the Church who are actively engaged in the mission of Jesus. But how? It begins with prayer:

“Putting prayer first postures us in a place of dependency and intimacy with the Father that promises an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The result is empowerment for faithful participation in God’s mission. For the sake of the lost, let’s join together and encourage a prayer-first culture that would transform people of all nations.” – Derek Parenteau

Derek Parenteau who serves on the Multiply Global Leadership Team, will challenge and equip us in Missional Disciple Making. Learn more or register.

** Please consult the bulletin board for other events and opportunities, including missionary updates and job postings. **
