You Said Yes
This is the beginning of something new.
You do not need to know everything about faith or have every question answered before you begin. Following Jesus is a relationship that grows over time.
The most important thing right now is simply to keep moving forward—one step at a time.
What It Means
The Bible teaches that sin separates us from God and that we cannot restore that relationship through our own effort. Jesus came to bridge that separation through His death and resurrection.
Following Jesus begins with trusting Him for forgiveness and receiving the new life God offers through Him. It means choosing to place your faith in Jesus and allowing Him to shape how you live.
Salvation is not something you earn by being good enough. It is a gift from God received through faith in Jesus.
Start Here
You do not have to do everything at once. These are simple ways to begin growing in your new relationship with Jesus through prayer, Scripture, relationships, baptism, and serving others.
Prayer does not require special words. Talk honestly with God about what you are thinking, what you are grateful for, what you need, and what you are learning.
You can pray anywhere and at any time. A simple place to start is to thank God, ask for His help, talk to Him about your concerns, and spend a few quiet moments listening and reflecting.
Scripture helps us understand who God is, what Jesus taught, and how faith connects with everyday life. The Gospel of John is a helpful place to begin if the Bible is new to you.
YouVersion also offers Bible reading and study plans that can help you build a regular habit and explore specific topics at your own pace.
Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. Small Groups give you a place to build relationships, ask questions, pray together, and grow alongside other people.
Baptism is a public expression of your faith in Jesus and an important next step for someone who has chosen to follow Him.
Part of following Jesus is learning to use the abilities, time, experience, and gifts God has given you to serve others.
That might mean helping with a ministry at The Bridge or taking part in one of our community programs that gives back to people in Corona and the surrounding area. You do not have to wait until you feel like an expert. Serving is one of the ways we grow in faith, care for other people, and put what we believe into practice.
