I'm new to the Christian faith...what should I do?
You heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, realized your sin and that you are in need of a Savior. You repented of your sin, trust in Christ and commit to live for him. Your life has changed forever…now what?
The first thing is to get and read a Bible. This is God’s Word and what every Christian is to base their life on. This is our source of truth. If you don’t have a Bible we can give you one for FREE. Everyone needs to own and read a Bible so they can grow in their relationship with God.
Second, find a bible believing church. Unfortunately some churches don’t preach the Bible. Look for a church that preaches the Bible. What does this look like? A church that opens up the Bible and preaches what God has intended. Below is a helpful resource that looks at the marks of a healthy church. Find a church that does this and stay there!
Third, find a Christian community. This is where your faith will really grow. When you find Christian friends who point you to Jesus, encourage you in your walk, pray for you when you are in need, and hold you accountable to following Jesus.
There are many more things of what it looks like to follow Jesus but if you build a foundation of reading God’s Word, hearing the preaching of His Word and being in community you will learn and mature in him.
