What's your next STEP?
Our goal is to become more like Jesus as we live in obedience to His commands, develop His character, and imitate His ways. Wondering what your next STEP is? Check it out below!
Receive Salvation
- Admit your need for a Savior (Romans 3:23).
- Confess your sins, turn away from them and turn to God (1 John 1:9).
- Believe Jesus died to pay for your sins (John 3:16).
- Ask Him to be your Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9).
Be Water Baptized
Water baptism is an outward demonstration of our inward decision to make Jesus our Lord, desiring to be free of our past and live a new life in His power and strength. Water baptisms are held throughout the year during services. Visit the Water Baptism page for dates & more info (Acts 2:38-41).
Talk with God Daily
Communication is key to every relationship. Set aside a fixed time every day to pray. Also talk with Him throughout the day. You don’t have to recite formal prayers. Just say what is on your heart and speak in a simple and direct way, just as you would with a friend (Mark 1:35).
Read God's Word Daily
When you learn God’s Word, you begin to understand His love for you, and find truths that can transform your thoughts and behaviors. Ask God to give you understanding of what you read and how it applies to your life. A good place to start is with the book of John (2 Timothy 3:16).
Gather Corporately to Worship and Hear God's Word
Attend church on Sundays so you can worship with others and listen to gifted teachers explain Biblical truths and how they apply to your life (Colossians 3:16).
Share Jesus by Testimony and Invitation
Reach out to people you know who do not have a relationship with Jesus and share how He’s changed your life. Then invite them to come to church, so they can hear the message of Jesus’ salvation and receive salvation too (Mark 5:19, Romans 10:17).
Connect in Small Groups
Small Groups are a place where you can become transparent, pray for each other, and experience freedom and healing from the past. Spending time with others who love God will also encourage you to keep growing in Christ. For more info or to sign up, visit the Small Groups page on our website (James 5:16, Hebrews 10:24-25)
Find Your Place through Connect Classes
Connect Classes consists of two steps that will help you connect to the family of believers, understand how God has uniquely gifted you, and use your God-given gifts to make a difference in others' lives. For more info, visit the Connect Classes page on our website (2 Peter 3:18).
Commit to Spiritual Growth by Partnering with Us
Becoming a member shows your desire to grow. Likewise, we are committed to helping you on your faith journey and will take care of you in times of need. Opportunities to partner with us and become a member are available during Connect Class, Step Two (Ephesians 4:15-16).
Serve in Your Giftings
God has wired you with unique gifts and abilities that can bless others and help them find salvation too. When you attend Connect Classes, you will take assessments to discover your giftings and learn specific ways to use them. This will lead to greater joy and purpose (2 Timothy 1:6).
Honor God with Your Giving
God’s Word tells us to bring a tithe (10 percent) of our income to the church, with the promise that God will bless us. Every time you give to the church, you are making an eternal investment in helping others experience life-change through Jesus Christ. God also sees your giving and is storing up rewards for you in heaven (Malachi 3:10, Matthew 16:27).
