Discipleship
Our goal in Discipleship is to help you connect with these 4 Rhythms in your life: Belong, Grow, Serve, and Reach. These four rhythms represent and communicate a holistic vision for what the Christian life should look like. These rhythms are more than slogans, they represent priorities we should each intentionally set, they are the rhythms by which we want to live our lives. They are measuring sticks to measure our spiritual growth. When we are intentionally investing in each of these rhythms, we will be passionately pursuing Christ. This is the life of discipleship.

Starting Point - If you have questions about what it means to be a Christian, or have someone in your life that you would like to share Jesus with, but aren’t quite sure where to start, this is the place for you. Starting Point is an 8-week experience where we simply have conversations about faith, and about God, and provide the opportunity to ask questions in a safe environment.
Discover - If you are a new believer in Jesus or simply someone who wants to start at the beginning and lay a foundation for what it means to be a member of the family of God, this is the place for you. This is a 12-week class that will meet on Sunday mornings and will explore how to start well in the faith, as well as establishes helpful practices and priorities to live a life pleasing to God.
Membership - This is a 4-week class through which those desiring membership are able to learn more fully about the history of Chino Valley Community Church, as well as understand the doctrinal distinctives of both our church and our denomination-so that they understand what membership in a church truly means.
