How do I grow in my relationship with God?

1

Follow Jesus

Deciding to follow Jesus is the most important decision you will ever make. Here's what the Bible says about it:

"For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard." Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." Romans 5:8

"If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

Sin separates us from God, but Jesus paid the price so nothing has to. When you put your faith in Him, you're forgiven, made new, and brought into God's family. If you made that decision at Elevate (or want to talk to someone about it), tell a leader on a Wednesday night. We'd love to celebrate with you.

Get Baptized

Water baptism is a symbol of your salvation and a public declaration of your faith in Jesus. Going under the water represents dying to your old life; coming up represents being raised to a brand-new life in Christ.

If you've decided to follow Jesus, baptism is your next step. Baptism Nights at Elevate are some of the best nights of the year.
