Discipleship
Life with
Jesus.
Growth takes time. It takes intentionality, and a community of support, love and encouragement. Let's follow Jesus one step at a time, together.
The invitation
Come.
Follow me.
Not: get your life together first.
Not: know all the answers.
Not: become a religious person.
Just come.
The shape of it
Be with Jesus.
Become like Jesus.
Do what Jesus did.
Be with Jesus
Learn to stay connected to him through prayer, Scripture, worship, and attentiveness to God.
Become like Jesus
Allow the Holy Spirit to reshape our character so love, humility, courage and faithfulness grow in us.
Do what Jesus did
Join his work in the world by loving people, serving others, seeking justice, and sharing the good news of the Kingdom.
If you've just said yes
Four places
to start.
You don't have to figure this out alone. God gives you the Holy Spirit — his presence with you and within you.
01 · Talk to God
Prayer is a real relationship, not a performance.
Bring your questions, fears, gratitude, doubts, needs, mistakes and ordinary life. You don't need special words. Start where you are.
02 · Read Scripture
One chapter a day is enough to begin.
The Bible shows you who God is, what he has done, and the life Jesus is inviting you into. Not sure where to start? Begin with the seven days below.
03 · Get baptized
The old life goes down. A new life comes up.
You step into the water carrying the life you've lived so far, go under like being lowered into a grave, and come back up alive and new. Baptism doesn't save you — Jesus does. It's a response to grace, not a way to earn it.
04 · Belong here
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone.
Find people who will know you, pray with you, encourage you, challenge you and learn the way of Jesus alongside you. We'd love to be that church for you.
Seven days
to meet Jesus.
One chapter a day. As you read, ask two questions: what does this teach me about who Jesus is, and what is Jesus inviting me into?
Week two: read the Gospel of John, three chapters a day.
Day 1
John 1
Meet Jesus.
Day 2
Mark 1
Follow Jesus.
Day 3
John 15
Stay close to Jesus.
Day 4
Mark 8
Surrender your life.
Day 5
Psalm 23
Trust his leadership.
Day 6
Acts 2
Join his people.
Day 7
Acts 4
Live with courage, by the Spirit.
