Up. In. Out. – The IBC Spiritual Formation Process
The goal of Immanuel is to develop people into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ and the process that we have put in place to accomplish this can best be summed up with three little words: up, in, and out.
These three words and their accompanying icons serve as a navigational tool to help you navigate our website and all other church publications. If your wondering if a particular activity is right for you than just follow one of these three bouncing balls.
A great number of the activities and ministries of IBC are specifically designed to help you make an upward connection with God. When you see this icon think evangelism and worship.
Spiritual growth does not just happen vertically is also takes place horizontally. In other words there are some things about God and life that you can only learn from interaction with other followers of Christ. When you see this icon think fellowship and discipleship.
The end game at IBC is not to create a group of church attendees but an army of world changers. We believe that God has all of us here for a purpose bigger than ourselves and it’s our desire to help you connect with that larger purpose. When you see this icon think ministries and missions.
