Taking the next step

Growing in the love of God


We are committed to growing more and more each day in the love of God. We do this through discipleship, fellowship, spiritual disciplines like prayer and Scripture reading, as well as through gathered worship. We long to grow into the image of Christ as we learn and know Him more deeply. We are also committed to helping others to grow closer to Him as we build the body of Christ.

Life Groups
Where:  Location and times vary depending on the group. We do our best to match individuals with a group that fits their schedule!
When: Most groups meet twice per month or every other week. Times will vary depending on the group.
Who:  Currently life groups are only for adults but we look forward to expanding in the future!
What: Life groups are an opportunity for people to connect and do life together. Groups are about 6-12 people. They are generally discussion based and group led to allow for growth in areas that are best for the group.
Why:  We are committed to being a community of faith.  Life groups are the main way we can truly be in a community with one another and connect on a deeper level. We need each other on this journey called life and believe this is one of the best ways to do that.


Faith Journey Partners
What you'll receive:  A trusted mentor who walks with you in faith, encouragement, and support for your spiritual journey, and a friendship rooted in grace, prayer, and shared discovery,
Flexible & Relational:  Once you get connected with a mentor you will begin by meeting in person. After that, you can continue to connect in whatever way works best for you and your mentor!
Why it matters: This partnership will strengthen your walk with God, deepen your understanding of Scripture and prayer, and create space for mutual encouragement and growth.

Membership
Where/When: Since membership classes are generally smaller groups of people, the class is tailored to fit the schedule of those attending.
Who:  Anyone wanting to know more about joining the church!  Children are welcome to join the church as well!!
What:  Anyone interested will go through our membership class that explains what membership is, what we believe as a church, and other important information. Times/dates will be decided case by case.  Adults will take classes with Pastor Steve and students will work with Pastor Madi.
Why:  Church membership is our way of committing to the church and to the people of God.  When we become members we agree to help build the body in a desire tp accomplish the church vision and mission.
Baptism
Where: If the weather permits, our baptism services are held at a pool nearby the church. In case of bad weather baptism services are held at the church.
When: Baptism services happen whenever an individual or group of individuals decide to be baptized!
Who: Any professing Christian
What: Our baptism services are generally a separate service from our Sunday morning services. Before the baptism service those being baptized will meet with Pastor Steve to go over details and any questions they may have.
Why: Baptism is an important sacrament of the church.  It is an outward expression of ones inward decision to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.
