You are Maturing!
Throughout this stage, you will continue to become more familiar with the person and story of Jesus.
Congratulations on taking the next step on your lifelong spiritual growth journey. At this stage of your journey, you are likely witnessing God’s activity in your daily life. You acknowledge Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. This relationship now informs many different aspects of your life such as your decision making processes, how you spend your time, entertainment choices, finances, relationships, and more.
Throughout this stage, you will continue to become more familiar with the person and story of Jesus. You will take steps to have God be part of your daily decisions and develop a deeper trust in Jesus. You will also develop daily habits that are essential for spiritual growth such as praying, reading your bible, giving, serving, and developing a greater sense of community through a small group.
