Membership Course
Sundays, Sept. 13 – Oct. 18, 8:45 a.m.
Whether you are new to Neffsville or a long-time member, our revised membership course might be a good fit for you. Where do your story and God’s story converge? How do we follow Jesus in everyday life? What are the core values that help empower us to follow Jesus together? This updated membership course will help answer these questions as we cover 6 core values of the Mennonite faith that directly correlate with our Confession of Faith. It will feature selected readings from two books, Inside Mennonite Life and Thought by Karl Landis and Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective. Pastor Eszter will facilitate the course and include some other presenters. Curious? Do you have any questions? Please contact Pastor Eszter at eszter@neffmc.org. Register HERE.
Please note:
- $20 fee to cover cost of materials.
- Anyone is welcome to join, even if they're not sure they want to become members yet - use this course as an opportunity to learn more and decide!

Your Kingdom Come
“Your Kingdom Come…” Jesus taught us to pray for God’s rule and reign to come to earth as it is in heaven. So, what does it look like for God’s Kingdom to come to earth? The scriptures reveal that there are at least nine essential elements in the local church that need to be nurtured and matured so the church is advancing the Kingdom. Our fall series at NMC will sketch out each of these nine essentials and their biblical roots. Also, during this time, NMC will be completing the PEAK (Preparing to Experience and Advance of the Kingdom) survey that focuses on these nine essential elements. At the end of the series, we will review together the results of the survey. The intention of the survey and subsequent coaching process is to help NMC discern 2-3 areas that need intentional development in the next few years. The goal of the series, the survey and the coaching process is to help NMC be a church that brings more heaven to earth in the days ahead.
