following jesus

As we all try to figure out what it means to follow Jesus, we believe it is important to acknowledge where we are, ask good questions about Scripture and life, and listen closely to those around us as we open ourselves up to be changed by God through these interactions. Following Jesus is not simply about depositing our souls in heaven.  We believe it profoundly transforms both us and this world in which we live.

The Bible teaches that baptism is the first step of obedience when making a commitment to Christ. Baptism allows a believer to publicly communicate their commitment to Christ. We would love to baptize you during one of our weekend services! If you have considered taking this step of obedience in your commitment to Christ, we would love to come alongside you.

So you want to get to know God. But how? Great question. Start praying (talk to God and approach him in Jesus’ name...God hears you...really!). But prayer really comes alive when you pair it with reading your Bible.

God’s word—the Bible—is the primary way He speaks to us. And it’s the absolute best way to discover how to follow Jesus on a daily basis. If you want to know more about God and His promises, reading the Bible is your next step. You can download the YouVersion Bible app for free for your phone or tablet. We suggest starting with The Gospel of John and then reading Romans.

Like many people, you may have some questions about faith. But you don't need someone to lecture you on what to believe. You need someone who is helpful—someone who has been where you are and has had their own questions. You need someone who understands the Christian faith and can offer helpful explanations yet allow you to draw your own conclusions. That's exactly what you'll find with Starting Point.

We believe that wherever we are in life, we always have a next step to take . Aren’t sure where to start?  Click the button below.
