You made the most important decision of your life
Welcome to the Family
Heaven is celebrating right now. Here's how to take your first steps in following Jesus.
Start Reading the Bible
The Bible is God's word to you. Start with the Gospel of John — it's the story of Jesus told by someone who walked with him. Read a little every day and let God speak to you through it.
Recommended: The Gospel of John — 1 chapter a day for the next 21 days.
Find a Church
You were made for community. A local church is where you'll grow, be encouraged, and find your place in God's family. Don't try to do this alone — find a church that loves Jesus and loves people.
Look for: A church that teaches the Bible faithfully, welcomes newcomers warmly, offers opportunities to serve, and has a community you can connect with.
Get Baptized
Baptism is your public declaration that you belong to Jesus. It's not what saves you — Jesus does that — but it's an important step of obedience and a powerful testimony to the world.
Talk to a pastor or church leader about getting baptized. Most churches offer baptism classes to help you understand what it means.
"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
Tell Somebody
The best thing you can do right now is tell someone what happened. A friend, a family member, a coworker — whoever God puts on your heart. You don't need all the answers. Just share your story.
Like the woman at the well, you have a story to tell. Your testimony is powerful — share it with friends, family, and anyone who will listen.
"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?"
— John 4:29
Keep Growing
Following Jesus is a lifelong journey, not a one-time event. Here are some simple habits that will help you grow strong in your faith every day.
Pray daily. Read Scripture. Build community. Share your faith.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
— 2 Corinthians 5:17
