CONGRATULATIONS!

You Said Yes to Following Jesus

Access Valuable Resources
Let’s Stay Connected

Congratulations, you just made a decision to accept Christ as your Savior. I remember when I was in your shoes, I had lots of questions regarding the next steps in learning to walk with God, such as:

How Do I Pray?

How Do I Read the Bible?

Should I Attend Church Regularly?

If you have similar questions then you're in the right place. We've anticipated many of these types of questions and have answered them on this page through some powerful resources. I encourage you to really spend some time exploring these lessons and stories; they are designed to help your new relationship with Christ become anchored—as you become a disciple of Jesus!

In Christ’s Love,

David D. Ireland, Ph.D.

Lead Pastor

What We Believe

Pray Daily & Read the Bible

PRAYER: Think of prayer as talking with God. Simply share your thoughts. Ask God to teach and strengthen you. Ask God to meet your needs, your family needs, and to help you and those around you each day. You can begin with 15 minutes of prayer by praying 3 minutes through each section of the wheel below.

BIBLE READING: Look at reading God’s Word as spiritual nutrition. Just like you need to physically eat every day, reading the Bible feeds you spiritually. Purchasing your own Bible is a great investment. You can also read and/or listen to the Bible online at websites like www.Biblegateway.com or download a Bible app such as YouVersion.

Engage in Church & Ministry Weekly

WEEKEND SERVICES: We encourage you to attend our weekend services every week either in person or online. Learn more about each experience below.

Worship In Person
Worship Online

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES: Another way to grow is by taking advantage of other ministry opportunities, such as our midweek Bible study (online) and prayer gatherings (in person, online, and via teleconference).
