Next Steps
Whether you are a new believer or have been following Jesus Christ for a while, here are six "next steps" you can take to draw closer to Christ and live out your faith to the fullest.
Scripture teaches that all believers should be baptized, since it becomes a moment that they can demonstrate their repentance and willingness to take up the will of God (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:38, 41; 8:12) . In other words, baptism is an opportunity for new believers to publicly proclaim what God has done in their lives through Christ. As a believer is immersed into the water, they declare that they have died to their old selfish ways or sins. And as they come out of the water, they declare how Christ has cleansed them from their sins to live a new life for God's will (Romans 6:1-4). Therefore, we encourage all new believers to be baptized and declare what God has done for them. Click the tab below to sign-up today!
Devotion is how we live in relationship with God. Just like any other relationship, you have to learn more about God, talk to Him, and love those whom He loves. So, that requires us to read the Bible, pray, be in community with other believers, and share our faith. But you may wonder, "How do I read the Bible, pray, be in community with other believers, and share my faith?" Well great question! As the Church, we are here to help. Below you find a tab that will direct you to some resources to help you with these areas. If you have any questions, then fill out the "contact form" below and we would be happy to help you.
Like we said above, being in relationship with God requires to be in relationship with those whom He loves, which is the Church. And there is no better way to be in relationship with the Church than groups. By signing-up for groups, you will receive a family who assists each other in their daily lives to draw closer to God. So, we encourage you find out more about groups and to sign-up by clicking the tab below.
In 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4, Apostle Paul explains that every believer has been given different gifts to build up other believers as we grow together into maturity of Christ. In other words, every believer has a part to play in the Church, and how you can play your part is through serving/volunteering. So, by serving at Happy Home Church, you are able to use your natural and God-given gifts to make an impact on the family of God. Click the tab below to get more information and how to sign-up today.
In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commands His followers to "go" and "make" more "disciples." But we understand that sharing one's faith may be scary or confusing on how to do it. So, we have created an opportunity known as our Missions Teams to assist you in sharing your faith. Through this opportunity, you will be in a safe environment of learning with other believers as you all work together to share the love of Christ. Therefore, we encourage you to click the tab below to find out more about this opportunity and to sign-up for a Missions Team.
