I Found New Life in Jesus... Now What?

Following Jesus is the beginning of a new life, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. Growth happens as you spend time with God, learn His Word, build relationships with other believers, and begin living out your faith day by day.

STEP 1:

Build a Daily Habit of Time with God

  • Start with Scripture. Read a little of the Bible each day. The Gospel of John is a great place to begin.
  • Talk with God. Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. Speak honestly with Him, thank Him, ask for help, and take time to listen.
  • Keep showing up. A few faithful minutes each day can become the foundation for a lifetime of growing with God.


“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” — Matthew 4:4

STEP 2:

Get in Community

  • Find your people. Faith grows stronger when we walk with others who encourage us, pray with us, and help us grow.
  • Join a small group. Small groups are a great place to build relationships, ask questions, study Scripture, and grow together.
  • Stay connected. Showing up consistently helps turn acquaintances into genuine community.


“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works... encouraging one another.” — Hebrews 10:24–25

STEP 3:

Discover Your Purpose

  • You were made for more. God has given you gifts, experiences, and a unique story that can be used to serve others and reflect Christ.
  • Pay attention to how He has wired you. Your passions, abilities, and opportunities can help point you toward where you can make a difference.
  • Start serving. Purpose often becomes clearer as we step out, help others, and allow God to use what He has placed in us.


“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.” — Ephesians 2:10

STEP 4:

Serve Others

  • Look for opportunities to help. Serving can be as simple as meeting a need, encouraging someone, or using your gifts where they’re needed most.
  • Start where you are. You don’t have to wait for a perfect role. God often uses ordinary acts of service to make a lasting difference.
  • Serve with humility. We follow Jesus by caring for others, putting people first, and serving without needing recognition.


“Through love serve one another.” — Galatians 5:13

STEP 5:

Keep Taking Next Steps

  • Growth is a journey. Stay curious, stay teachable, and keep seeking God through prayer, Scripture, worship, and community.
  • Keep saying yes. As God leads you, continue taking steps of obedience through baptism, serving, generosity, and deeper involvement in the life of the church.
  • Don’t walk alone. Stay connected to people who can encourage you, pray with you, and help you keep growing.


“Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus.” — Hebrews 12:1–2
