Congrats on Following Christ

Congrats on Following Christ

You have just taken the most important step you can ever take in your life by making the decision to follow Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. We are SO excited for you!

We want to help you take your first steps as a new Christian. Steps like getting baptized, learning to study the Bible, how to pray and building great relationships with other Christians.

Baptism

Baptism

Why: Because Jesus Christ called us to be baptized.

What: Baptism is not a means of salvation; rather, it is a public declaration of the salvation you have received.

When: The Bible tells us that we are to be baptized after we have made a commitment to Christ.

How: We ask you to come to the church (most of the time), you get in the water (it is heated), you affirm your faith in Jesus and then the pastor lowers you into and back out of the water.

Proverbs 27:17 - "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

Prayer

Prayer is simply talking to God, just like you would with anyone else. Just start talking to Him. He is with you and can always hear you.

A – Adoration
We need to praise Him for how great He is!

C – Confession
We need to confess sin, daily, in order to stay in right fellowship with Him.

T – Thanksgiving
Every day we need to stop and exercise our gratitude toward Him.

S – Supplication
Just ask God for what you and others need. He answers us with a “yes,” “no,” or “not yet.” In the process of doing so, we can discover what God’s will is for our life!
