Growth Track is designed to help you take real next steps in following Jesus. These four pathways… Love God, Live Free, Build Family, and Bring the Kingdom… are the core ways God calls His people to walk as they grow in faith. This is not just about gaining information. It is about putting your faith into practice, being transformed by Jesus, and building a life that is rooted on the rock. Whether you are just beginning your journey or ready to go deeper, Growth Track is here to help you follow Him with clarity, conviction, and action.
LOVE GOD
Learning to love God is the beginning of everything. Before we can live free, build family, or bring the Kingdom, we must first learn how to receive His love, walk with Him daily, and build our lives around His presence. Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This pathway is about laying that foundation and taking the first real steps of discipleship so your life is built on the rock.
Receive Christ and confess Him as Lord
It’s all about Jesus
Jesus said: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well." – John 14:6
Following Jesus is not an exclusive path to God, it’s completely inclusive. No matter who you are or what you’ve done, Jesus is the way for you to have a relationship with God.
Everybody’s invited. Everybody’s included. Everybody’s important.
If you think you’re an exception to the rule, you’re wrong. Jesus loves you.
We can never earn our way or be a “good enough” person to get to God. But with Jesus, we don’t have to.
So how do I actually become a Christian?
If you sincerely believe Jesus Christ is Lord and want Him to save you, scripture tells us to do two things: SAY IT and SHOW IT.
“But don’t I have to clean up my life first?”
Nope. You don’t change in order to gain God’s love, you change because you’ve experienced his love.
Once you make Jesus your Savior, over time, God’s love changes you. You change because you’re loved. You don’t change in order to be loved.
SAY IT: Confess Christ is Lord
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. – Romans 10:9-10
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” – Romans 10:13
Say a simple prayer, similar to the following, from a sincere heart:
"Lord, Jesus, I believe you died on the cross for me and rose again. Please forgive me of my sins. I want you to be my Lord and Savior. Give me your Holy Spirit and help me live for you all the days of my life."
If you prayed this, please let us know! We want to celebrate with you and help you take your next steps in Christ!

Be baptized in water
What is baptism?
Baptism is simply when another Christian immerses you in water. It is what Jesus commanded all his followers to do.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. – Matthew 28:19
Baptism is our pledge of a good conscience toward God.
And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. – 1 Peter 3:21
This should be a personal decision you make, following a confession of faith (i.e., when you SAY IT). Even if you were baptized as an infant, we will baptize you again since it’s your decision this time.

Build a daily rhythm of Scripture and prayer
It’s about walking with Him
Following Jesus is not just a one-time decision… it is a daily relationship.
If you want to know Jesus, you have to spend time with Him.
Jesus said: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” – Matthew 4:4
The Word of God feeds you. It strengthens you. It renews your mind. It shows you truth so you are not led by lies.
And prayer is how you talk with Him… how you build relationship… how you stay connected to His heart.
So where do I start?
Start simple. You do not need to overcomplicate this.
Pick a time. Open your Bible. Talk to God.
Even 10–15 minutes a day is a powerful place to begin.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” – Psalm 119:105
“Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” – James 4:8
What does this actually look like?
• Read a portion of Scripture each day
• Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand it
• Talk to God about what you read
• Pray honestly… not perfectly
It is not about perfection… it is about devotion.
If you miss a day, that is okay… just do not miss two. Keep coming back.
This is how your relationship with God becomes real, personal, and strong.

Commit to gathering with the Church weekly
You were never meant to follow Jesus alone
Following Jesus is personal… but it was never meant to be private.
God places you in a family so you can grow, be strengthened, and walk this out together.
“Let us not give up meeting together… but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” – Hebrews 10:25
Church is not just something you attend… it is something you become part of.
It is where you are:
• Encouraged in your faith
• Strengthened by truth
• Surrounded by people who are pursuing Jesus
• Built up and equipped to live this out
But it has to become a priority.
We do not fit God into our schedule… we build our schedule around Him.
“Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” – Matthew 18:20
When you gather with the Church, you are not just showing up to a service… you are stepping into His presence with His people.
Make it a non-negotiable.
Not out of religion… but out of devotion.
Your faith will not grow in isolation.
It grows in the presence of God and in the family of God.
