In your new or rededicated walk with Christ, we could encourage you to consider the Next Steps…

First Steps:

• Attend church regularly. Worshiping and learning in community with others is one of the best ways to grow and be encouraged in your faith.
• Read your Bible. God’s Word is meant to be woven throughout our lives, giving us new wisdom with each season we experience. It’s the story of His love for us since the beginning of time—something best enjoyed daily. http://www.youversion.com
• Pray. We have the privilege of a direct connection to the Creator of the universe. Through prayer, God addresses our deepest hopes and fears, gives us direction, and expresses His love to us.

Essential Steps:

• Get Baptized. Baptism is our way of telling the world about our relationship with Christ. Jesus did it, and it’s an important way we can follow His footsteps.
• Give. When we give, it acknowledges God as the giver of everything we have, reflects our trust that He will continue to provide for us, and allows us to be a part of His work here on earth. It’s something we do with joy.
• Bring your family. Following Jesus is a journey that becomes even more meaningful when shared. A great way to lay the groundwork is getting your kids involved in the ministry that’s designed just for them.

Focused Steps:

• Build Relationships – Connect with people in a LifeGroup, where you can make new friends, connect with people growing in the same area as you, or develop mentoring relationships.

• Serve – Make a difference by serving a worthy cause, whether volunteering at Crossroads Church or changing something in your community.
