You Have What It Takes To Grow

Let Monvee™ Help You Find Out What Gets In the Way

(and Where To Go From Here)

Monvee™ means ‘one life,’ and is designed to help you figure out what keeps you from becoming the person God had in mind when He thought you up.   After taking a fun self-assessment (no longer than 5 minutes ... really!), Monvee™ will paint a picture of where you are right now in your relationship with God, and create a personal, hand-crafted roadmap for your spiritual growth that you can update, revise and customize as you go.  Monvee™ takes into account your learning style, spiritual pathway and the common obstacles to your growth in an effort to guide you toward readings, practices, experiences and relational connections that will develop your relationship with Christ ... right here at Christ Community Church.   One size truly doesn't fit all.   We think it's pretty cool! 

If you're interested, here's a brief video clip giving you a sense of how Monvee™ came into being, and the vision for Monvee™ in the lives of people and our church ... 

Now here's the best part ... because Christ Community was a part of the development of Monvee™ from 2008-2010, everyone in our church gets to take the Monvee™ assessment one time for free, and print out the feedback and one-time spiritual growth roadmap. 

So ... here's how you can get going ...

1. Watch the Monvee™ Preview Video

This will give you a pretty good idea of what Monvee™ is all about, and introduce you to Eric Parks, the co-developer of Monvee™  (this is the video clip we showed in services on the weekend of January 8-9, 2011) ...

 

2. Take the Discovery Assessment and Print Out Your Discovery Summary

Step 1: Log into www.monvee.com and click on "login"

Step 2: Click on "Are you new to Monvee™?"

Step 3: Fill out the information it asks for including Christ Community's Church ID#:

If the Monvee™ process has connected with you, here are some other resources and support that are available to help you go farther ...

 

Books to Read (both of these books are available in The Vine's Bookstore and at Zoe's)

The Me I Want to Be: Becoming God's Best Version of You

by John Ortberg  ($10.00)

Discover the great task---and joy---of becoming God's best version of yourself! Best-selling author and pastor Ortberg wrote this book to be a companion for Monvee™, and explains that Christ's vision for each of us is to grow spiritually toward a life in which his Spirit flows like a river---and assures us that this is God's project, not our own.

 

Good News for Those Trying Harder

by Pastor Alan Kraft ($10.00)Countless believers are pursuing spiritual growth, only to repeatedly find themselves spinning their wheels and making no progress. Many are driven to just try harder. Others feel a growing sense of failure and distance from God. But for all involved, it's a frustrating cycle. What can we do when trying harder isn't working?   Pastor Alan Kraft invites us to be still ... still enough to hear the twin melodies that comprise the good news of the gospel-brokenness and faith. These core strains have the power to lift our exhausted heads so we may experience life to the full as Jesus promised.
