Our new Life Class is a simple, practical next step designed to help you grow, whether you’re brand new to faith, returning after some time away, or ready to build stronger spiritual rhythms and healthier life patterns. In a welcoming, no-pressure environment, you’ll learn how to move from just “attending” to truly belonging, healing, and living on purpose, with real conversations, biblical guidance, and tools you can use right away.
The class includes three core lessons: What is means to follow Jesus, How to Pray & Study the Bible, Baptisms & Community, These lessons are a tool to understanding the basics of faith, who Jesus is, and how to start building a daily walk with God, identifying what holds you back, learning how God restores you, and developing habits that strengthen your character and relationships, and discovering how God uniquely wired you and how to take your place in community through serving, groups, and ongoing discipleship.

WEEK 1
SALVATION & NEW CREATION
In this first session, we walk through two foundational truths: salvation and becoming a new creation in Christ. You’ll learn what salvation means, why we need it, and how God’s grace rescues and restores us through faith in Jesus. This video also introduces practical next steps for growing as a new believer, reading God’s Word, learning to pray, and living daily with the help of the Holy Spirit.
What You’ll Learn:
What the Bible says about grace, faith, and salvation
What it means to be a new creation (born again)
Key scriptures to anchor your new life in Christ (Ephesians 2:8, Romans 10:9, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and more)
Practical habits that help you grow: Bible reading, prayer, worship, and scripture memorization
In Week 2, we learn about baptism; what it means, why it matters, and how it marks your dedication to a new life in Christ. You’ll learn how baptism represents being cleansed through Jesus’ forgiveness and raised into a renewed life by faith.
This session breaks down three key baptism experiences: baptism into Christ (receiving Jesus as Savior), water baptism (a public declaration of faith and obedience), and baptism in the Holy Spirit (welcoming God’s guidance, comfort, and power in your everyday life).
What You’ll Learn:
What baptism means and how it points to a new life in Jesus
The difference between baptism into Christ, water baptism, and baptism in the Holy Spirit
Why water baptism is a public step of obedience and faith
How the Holy Spirit helps believers live with wisdom, comfort, and spiritual power
This week’s memory verse: Acts 2:38

WEEK 3
PRAYER, READING THE BIBLE & FELLOWSHIP
In Week 3, we share how to build a stronger relationship with God through three key rhythms: prayer, reading the Bible, and fellowship. God already knows you, and He invites you to truly know Him by spending time with Him, listening for His voice, and learning His heart through His Word.
In this session, you’ll learn that prayer is simply conversation with God, honest, regular, and personal. You’ll also be encouraged to read the Bible in ways that fit your life, whether that’s on paper, through an app, listening to audio, or following a reading plan. Stephanie also highlights the power of community, worshiping with others, joining a small group, and surrounding yourself with Christian influences that help you grow through the highs and lows of life.
What You’ll Learn:
How to build a relationship with God through prayer, the Bible, and fellowship
Simple ways to pray, and how to listen for God’s voice
Practical tools for reading the Bible (translations, formats, and reading plans)
Why worship services and small groups help you grow and stay encouraged
