We are all on a journey.

Following Jesus can be a journey.  The best journey you can ever choose. God made us in his image and calls us to have faith in Jesus and follow him in obedience. We are here to help you discover what that means and what can be your next steps to become a fully equipped disciple of Jesus.

Step 1: Trusting Jesus

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6. ESV

It is incredible to place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ! Everyone who trusts Jesus to save them can know that they have eternal life. We want to celebrate with you and help take your next step in following Jesus as a new disciple.  Click the box below to tell us about your decision to follow Jesus.

Step 2: Getting Baptized

"We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." - Romans 6:4 ESV

A part of making disciples is to teach them and baptize them. Baptism does not add to or seal  a person's salvation, but rather it is a public expression that a person has decided to follow Jesus. We practice believer's baptism by fully immersing those who have placed their faith and trust in Jesus and want to tell the world about their decision. 

Step 3: Find Community and grow together

"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” - John 13:35 ESV

Jesus' heart for the church goes far beyond gathering together for a few hours on a Sunday morning. We see the church flourishing when it gathers together in the normal flow of life, to share a meal, connect, and share what God is doing. We call this "Missional Living," and we want to practice this in groups that meet up across our community.  These groups become the time we look forward to most as we gather together with other Christians, and invite our friends and neighbors to live life together.

Step 4: Become a contributing member of the church

“…for God who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful; and let us consider how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, not giving up meeting together…”Hebrews 10:25 AMP

You can't follow Jesus by yourself. God designed us to be in fellowship, community, and unity with other people. Through these relationships, we learn how to love God, love people, and become equipped to make disciples. To express this level of commitment, we ask people to sign a church "covenant" for themselves or their family for the upcoming year. This covenant expresses one's desire to go beyond "attending" church, to actively becoming part of the church. We offer a class every couple of months for those interested in taking this step.

STEP 5: USING YOUR GIFTS TO SERVE others

“…Since you are so eager to have the special abilities the Spirit gives, seek those that will strengthen the whole church.” 1 Corinthians 14:12 NLT

We believe that everyone who has trusted in Jesus has received the power of the Holy Spirit and with that power comes gifts. These gifts are given to enable every believer to serve and build the Kingdom of God in unique ways. When people are walking and serving in the gifts, the body of Christ becomes stronger. Before choosing an area to jump in and serve, we encourage everyone to know their spiritual gifts.

Step 6: Make Disciples

“…Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them... [and] teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 (ESV)

We are all called to move beyond only receiving Christ's gift of salvation personally. We are called live missionally and make disciples. As we are going, we have opportunities every day to help others follow Jesus. In addition to these rhythms of blessing others, we are called to move from consumers to contributers.

In order to saturate our community with the love of Christ, we want to start missional communities in every neighborhood. If you would like more information about what is involved in starting a missional community, click below.
