NEXT STEPS

Spiritual Formation is a process, but it is also a journey through which we open our hearts to a deeper connection with God. We are not bystanders in our spiritual lives, we are active participants with God, who is ever inviting us into relationship with him. (Renovare.org)

Our next steps are intended to help attendees know the next steps to take to grow in their faith. We recognize that every person’s journey is different, and our goal is to help each individual identify the steps that meet their goals, not ours. We believe that your next step is yours to take, but you are not alone. Our next steps are:

Growth Track New Attenders Class | Practicing the Way | Called & Gifted

Growth Track

Are you new to Centerpoint and want to learn what the church is all about and how to meet others? Then, you should attend our Growth Track New Attenders class. This is a one-time, two-hour class. Whenever we have six people sign up, we will connect you with Pastor Mark and schedule a time to meet.

Why is it important to start with Growth Track?
  • It allows people to connect with a staff member or two. This allows them to be known by leadership. 
  • It allows people to get to know some new attendees at Centerpoint and begin some relational connections. 
  • It allows people to discern if Centerpoint is the church they feel God is inviting them to join. 
  • It introduces people to the vision of our church and how we help people grow in their faith.
  • They learn what Covenant Partnership is, why we believe it is valuable, and if it is the right step for the attendee.
  • It clearly outlines the Next Steps at Centerpoint.

This is a low-risk way to meet others and get connected to the life of Centerpoint. For questions or to get on the list, fill out the form below:

Practicing the Way

One of the best ways to grow in our apprenticeship to Jesus is in community. Every fall and spring, we launch Practicing the Way groups here at Centerpoint Church.

Called and Gifted

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Each follower of Jesus has been called to do good works in the world. A call is not just for pastors and missionaries but for every apprentice of Jesus. You have a call. God has given you everything you need to live into and fulfill your calling to reveal the kingdom of God and renew your sphere of influence as a student, mom, lawyer, park ranger, or artist. 

Called & Gifted at Centerpoint Church seeks to come alongside each attendee and help them discern the good works, the call, that God has for them and then help them step into it.

More information is coming Fall of 2024
