At Southview, our mission is to help all people become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. God has
placed us on a pathway of becoming a community of people who are seeking to become more and more like
Jesus every day. We believe that there are four steps of maturity that believers go through on this
journey: Seeker, Learner, Servant, and Developer.
| Seeker |
Learner |
Servant |
Developer |
|
Moving from those who’ve not yet established a relationship with Christ to the establishment of that relationship and understanding what He has done for you
|
Developing strong foundational habits for Christian living and a strong grasp on biblical truths
|
Discovering your spiritual gifts, passion, and style and utilizing them in service; continuing to grow in Christ and learning to depend on Him every day for guidance
|
Influencing and developing others to follow Christ and serve Him; a truly Christ-centered life
|
Spiritual growth and maturity is a process. While each believer may progress at a different speed, our
intent is to offer a clear strategy of development, NeXt steps, for people at every level on the journey.
Spiritual transformation is the work of the Holy Spirit. We do not control the Spirit. We can pursue
transformation, but we can’t make it happen. John Ortberg writes, “We can open ourselves to transformation
through certain practices, but we cannot engineer it. We can take no credit for it.” We can make a
decision to pursue transformation – and that’s what the NeXt discipleship classes at Southview are about.

We'll cover all of the world's major religions and the cults and we'll do it in a way that's both fun and educational. The class will cover the range from Islam to Buddism, from Mormonism to Jehovah Witness and Unitarianism. Through developing a good understanding of the other faiths and religious cults we become better equipped to understand the lost around us and develop non-confrontational approaches to reaching them for Christ.
Participants come away understanding their own faith and doctrine better and are more comfortable sharing their faith with the lost, regardless of their religious affiliations. Given the times we're living in today knowing more about the other religious groups and those who say they follow God or Christ but do not will prove very valuable as we continue to take the gospel into world.

Join Beth in an in-depth and very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance. She peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to our lives. If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, it's tough today. This portion of God's Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives.
There will be nine weeks of personal interactive study five days a week plus viewer guides for the group video sessions.
