How You Can Join Us

How You Can Join Us | Mystery’s Gospel Invitation

Our deepest desire is that you know, worship and love Jesus. If you’d like to know more about becoming a Christian pick up a copy of “Knowing God” from our information table or arrange to meet with a Community Group leader or pastor. We also want to see people connect with and commit to a local church. It’s through participation that we grow in the gospel. Here are several of the ways you can explore and experience Mystery for yourself.

• Attend a Sunday Worship Gathering
We gather at 514 Main in downtown Joplin each Sunday morning at 10am to worship God together through preaching, prayer, singing and sharing. It’s a great time to celebrate the gospel together.

• Fill Out an “Introduce Yourself” Card
Cards are located by the door or in the chair racks. This is the first informal way we can begin to serve you. Share needs, ask for prayer, arrange a meeting or just let us know you were here.

• Join a Community Group
This is the best way to connect and grow. Groups form in the Fall, Winter and Spring. They meet in homes in the area during the week and consist of food, friendships, prayer, study and service. Check the website or information table for a group near you.

• Participate in Forums, Events and Activities
There’s usually something going on around here from classes to cookouts or missional activities. Check the bulletin, facebook, twitter or mysterychurch.com for opportunities to plug in.

• Attend Exploring Mystery
Want to learn more about Christianity or our church? This class is for you. Offered on Sunday evenings several times a year it meets from 4-7:30 includes a comprehensive notebook and a meal. The class addresses the Gospel and the Church as well as an overview of Mystery’s history, beliefs, vision, mission, structure and practices. It’s open to anyone and is required for membership. Come find answers and connect with community.
