Next Steps

Congratulations!

We are very excited you have committed your life to Jesus as your Savior and Lord. This is an exciting time for which there are angels in heaven rejoicing!

As a “newborn” Christian, recognize it will take time to grow spiritually. You will make mistakes and it may be difficult at times to understand God’s plans for you. Don’t be discouraged. Christ cares for you greatly and will help you along the journey.

You are now part of a fellowship of believers and we are here to walk alongside you, and we have several resources to help guide you along. Use this brief guide to get you started.

Ask questions. Look for answers that make sense to you. Challenge us.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17
