Next steps
You’ve decided to follow Jesus. Here’s where to start.
Congratulations! You have decided to commit your life to increasingly learning what it means to follow Jesus with all of life. This is literally the most important decision you will ever make in your life, and you may be wondering what’s next. We want to help! If you’d like to understand the good news you’ve just believed, read What Is the Gospel? Here are 3 things you need to know.
Three things to know
Where to begin
1
Tell someone who loves and follows Jesus about the decision you’ve made
We believe that growing in your faith cannot happen outside of community and responsibility. If you don’t know anyone, we would love to be that “someone”! Use the Contact me button at the bottom of this page to let us know you’ve made a decision to follow Christ and want to begin taking steps toward growing in your faith!
2
Begin an intentional plan for growing in your knowledge of Jesus
There are a ton of ways to go about reading the Bible. Here is a plan that we recommend as a way to kick-start your journey as a follower of Christ…and not just a “fan.” If you’re new to reading it, How to Study the Bible walks through a simple method for beginners.
If you want to dive right in, we recommend this 90-day plan that will take you through the Gospels. It has some really great video resources to help you understand how what you’re reading really applies to everyday life.
3
Engage in a church family
You don’t have to call Clarity home, but we would be more than honored to live life as family with you and live on mission together with God. This can be as simple as committing to attending our weekly Sunday gatherings, or signing up to serve on a team so you can begin to get to know the people who are part of God’s family with you! Ultimately we would love for you to get involved with one of our Clarity Small Groups. You can find more info about our small groups here.
