The Journey

Following Jesus is a journey--an adventure! We want to walk alongside you on this pilgrimage of faith. Here are four steps on the journey...

Step 1: Come & See

You might not be ready to believe. But you’re intrigued. It’s a weird story, right? A Savior is born of a peasant girl in a backwater town in occupied territory, and he chooses unpopular friends while upsetting religious folks and telling cool stories that make people think. You’re not sure about all the details, but it’s an intriguing story. The first step on the journey is simply to come and see how this story is lived out in our community.   

Step 2: Follow Me

The second step on the journey is to commit to:

  • Showing up regularly

  • Learning how to pray with us

  • Serving others

Step 3: Be with Me

Before this step, you merely admired Jesus. But now you’re his disciple. As such, you’re ready to clothe yourself in Christ by:

  • Contacting Pastor Matt for a conversation on discipleship (don’t worry, this is not about “grilling” you or “testing” your knowledge. This is a joyous time of fellowship and preparation).

  • Being baptized

  • Reaffirming your baptismal vows through an act of public remembrance

Step 4: Remain in Me

Rooted in Jesus, your ministry is now to:

  • Represent Christ and Christ’s Church

  • Bear witness to Christ wherever you go

  • Use your gifts to carry on Christ’s work

  • Take your place of service in the Church
