Begin

Your First Steps in Following Jesus

Following Jesus is a journey, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. BEGIN is a four-week group designed for new believers and anyone who wants to better understand what it means to follow Jesus.

You’ll explore foundational truths of the Christian faith and learn practical ways to follow Jesus in everyday life—including reading the Bible, developing a life of prayer, understanding the Holy Spirit, and sharing your story.

Whether you’ve recently trusted in Christ or are simply looking for a place to learn more about following Him, BEGIN is a place to ask questions, grow in your faith, and connect with others.

What We'll Explore

Week 1 — Following Jesus as Lord

What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? We’ll explore the gospel, assurance of salvation, and what it means to surrender every area of our lives to Jesus as Lord.

Week 2 — The Bible

Learn why the Bible matters and how God’s Word helps us know God, shape our worldview, guide our decisions, and grow in our faith.

Week 3 — Prayer & the Holy Spirit

Discover prayer as a relationship with God—learning to talk with Him, listen to Him, and align our hearts with His. We’ll also explore the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Week 4 — My Story & God's Story

Every follower of Jesus has a story. Learn how your story fits into God’s bigger story and how you can use your testimony to point others to Jesus.
