Next Steps
1. TELL SOMEONE
Share your decision to follow Jesus with a friend or family member. Telling others about your decision to follow Jesus is an important way to share the joy and transformation that comes with salvation. It's a way to let people know about the hope, peace, and new life you’ve found, and it can inspire them to explore the same relationship with Jesus. Sharing your story is also a powerful witness to God's love and grace, and it strengthens both your faith and the faith of others.
2. GET BAPTIZED
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision to follow Jesus. It’s a powerful step of obedience that symbolizes your new life in Christ, identifying with His death, burial, and resurrection. Through baptism, we publicly declare our faith and commitment to Him, celebrating the transformation He has brought into our lives.
3. JOIN A SMALL GROUP
Joining a small group is a beautiful way to grow in your faith and to be supported by others who are on the same journey. It’s a place where you can find genuine friendships, encouragement, and love, all while deepening your relationship with God. Being part of a church family reminds you that you’re never alone, and together, you can walk through life’s ups and downs with faith and hope.

4. INVITE SOMEONE
TO CHURCH
Inviting someone to church is a simple yet powerful way to share the love and hope you've found in your faith. It opens the door for them to experience God's presence, hear His truth, and be part of a community that cares. Your invitation could be the start of their own journey toward healing, growth, and connection with God.
5. start serving
Our mission is to help you find yours! | Peter 4:10-1 1 tells us, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

6. find a mentor
Finding a mentor after saying yes to Jesus is key to growing in your faith, as they can offer wisdom, guidance, and encouragement from their own journey with Christ. A mentor helps you navigate challenges, deepen your understanding of God's Word, and stay accountable in your walk with Him. Their support makes the path of spiritual growth richer and more fulfilling.
7. give back to your church & community
Giving back to your church and community is a beautiful way to live out your faith and show gratitude for all that God has done in your life. Whether through time, talents, or resources, your contribution helps strengthen the body of Christ and makes a tangible difference in the lives of others. Serving others not only blesses them, but it also deepens your own connection to God and His mission in the world.
8. seek counseling
Going to counseling after saying yes to Jesus can be an important step in healing and growth, helping you navigate past wounds, emotional struggles, or difficult life transitions with a healthy perspective. A Christian counselor can provide guidance that aligns with your faith, offering tools to process pain and move forward in freedom.
