Discipleship
Pathway
Sunday after Sunday, you’ve heard us ask two questions: what is God saying to you and how will you respond? As a church, that really is at the heart of who we are as we love Jesus, learn from Jesus, and live like Jesus lived. But that said, all of us are in different places on our journey to answer these questions and embody these values, and sometimes knowing how to go after them can be, or feel, complicated. So we’ve created a tool that we call the Discipleship Pathway to help us with that.
Our Discipleship Pathway isn’t exactly linear and there’s no “one size fits all” approach when it comes to following Jesus. The Pathway is simply a way of finding yourself within this house that we call NextStep Fellowship. And it’s an invitation to move deeper into our family. We encourage you to move at your pace in a way that matches your journey and in the timing that fits your capacity.
Move at your pace, in the way that matches your journey, and in the timing that fits your limits. You are welcome here.
Belong.
The ways we gather give people a place to belong and fall in love with Jesus.
Sunday Mornings
Sunday mornings are the primary way we gather as a church to worship together, learn the Scriptures, pray for one another, and create space to hear from the Spirit. It is in these moments together that we collectively embody Jesus and His Kingdom.
Oikos
Oikos is the Greek word used for “family on mission”. We gather monthly as an Oikos to eat together, pray together, and share life together. There are two rules of Oikos:
1. Don’t knock. Oikos means family and family doesn’t knock. On Oikos night, just come right in!
2. When the family gathers, there’d better be laughter… and there always is! Come ready to laugh!
Oikos is one way we gather during the week, around the table, to be the people of Jesus in our community. It is in these ordinary rhythms of life that we become more like Jesus. Oikos gathers at 6:30pm on the first Friday of the month at the Nation’s house. Reach out for the address and details.
Believe.
The ways we grow together give people something to believe in and a path to learn from Jesus.
Classes
Space and time dedicated to deeper learning and spiritual formation. Gather with us for one of our seasonal weekend or midweek classes to engage with teachings about Scripture, discipleship, finance, parenting, and more.
Bible Studies
Gather with us for one of our seasonal weekend or midweek studies designed for deeper learning and understanding of the Word of God with applications for everyday life.
Become.
The ways we serve give people a space to become who God created them to be and invite them to live the way Jesus lived.
Time
A most valuable resource, and one, when spent in the service of the Kingdom of God, never returns void.
Financial
We want to partner with Jesus to support our local and global community and our church family. We dream of becoming a church marked by radical generosity.
