Want to follow Jesus?
That’s amazing! Let’s get you started in the right direction.
You may have heard terms like salvation, getting saved, or being born again. All of those descriptions are attempts to define what following Jesus really means. Following Jesus is a relationship and a journey, not some formula or super-secret prayer. We want to help you create a solid foundation for this life long journey. To do this, we want you to pray the prayer of salvation, let us help you enter into a spiritual family, show you how to practice Christianity with spiritual disciplines, and provide you with additional resources.
1. Pray the prayer of Salvation
“Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. I Open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins. Take control of my life. I turn from my old ways and invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to Trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In the name of Jesus, Amen.”
2. Let us help you
God doesn’t have only children. We are a spiritual family. On your journey of following Jesus, it’s important that, together, we put our old lives behind us (baptism) and step in to worshipping community (Sunday Church Services) where you are known (Small groups) and can make a difference (Serve).
Fill out this form so we can help you get connected with your next step in following Jesus!
4. Practice Spiritual Disciplines
Being a disciple of Jesus means walking in the disciplines of Jesus. Following Jesus means we follow His words and ways. Watch these videos to learn more about spiritual disciplines, from reading the Bible and praying to worshipping with music and serving!
