Are you someone wanting to learn what it means to have a relationship with Jesus?
Are you new to Church on the Rock and wondering how to get connected?
Are you looking for ways you can help serve in our church community?
Are you looking to grow in your relationship with God?
Next Steps is a pathway to growing in Christ and becoming a connected member of our church family.
Through Next Steps, whether you are just entering into a new relationship with Jesus or you have been a Christian for a long time, there are simple steps we can help you take to enter into Christian community here at Church on the Rock.
THE STEPS
The first step toward a relationship with God is knowing what is called "The Gospel". This is the Good News that Jesus came to earth through the virgin birth, lived a sinless life and died a sinners death so that by believing and trusting in Him, we would step into a right relationship with God and have eternal life. We are saved by Grace through Faith!
This step is to connect with a pastor or elder at the church to learn more about who we are as a church, where we've been and where we believe God is leading us to go. You can also connect with a Starting Point meeting when they occur to learn more.
Being baptized in water is an important step in your relationship with Jesus. It is a public acknowledgement of your faith in Christ that signifies your new life in Jesus. It's also an opportunity for this moment to be celebrated by our church family! Celebrating salvation is one of our favorite things to do!
SALVATION
STARTING POINT
BAPTISM
Church is more than a Sunday Service. It's a community of believers encouraging, supporting and strengthening each other. The best way to do that is by joining one of the many home groups and Bible studies that take place at homes and the church throughout the week
Generosity is a central part of the Christian life, both in the church and outside the church. Giving financially to support the many ministries as well as the church community center is a great step to become more invested in what God is doing through our church community.
The Church exists to equip people to minister and to help equip you, we have Discipleship classes in the Spring and in the Fall. Joining these classes can help you grow in your understanding of the Word and give you the tools to minister both in the church and outside the church.
