To know and love God and our neighbor through relationship, service and witness

Intentional Faith Development Through Education and Connection

Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself”

– Luke 10:27 (NRSV)

There are some churches that want you to check your brain at the door, but the passage above from Luke is one of our guiding principles. God wants us to be encountering our faith not just with our hearts, but also with our minds. This has been a part of the Methodist tradition since the time of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.

Some of the ways we do that,Wesley said, were through attending worship, engaging with fellow Christians and talking about our faith lives, reading, searching and studying scripture, and deepening our understanding of our faith, of God and of who God has called us to be.

Mesa View hopes everyone will participate in at least one faith development opportunity every year to deepen their faith and their connection with God and with each other.

We hope you will find an opportunity of interest to you. Options are changing on a regular basis, and if there is something you would like to see offered, or that you would be willing to take on, please speak with Pastor John or our faith development team.
