Start Your Faith Journey

Following Jesus is the best decision you'll ever make — and you don't have to figure it out alone. Wherever you are with God right now, there's a next step, and we'd be honored to walk it with you.

You’re Welcome
Wherever You Are

You’re Welcome

Wherever you are with God right now, there’s a place for you here. Maybe you’re curious about faith. Maybe you’ve already said yes to Jesus and you’re wondering what comes next. You don’t have to have it all figured out, and you don’t have to walk the journey alone.

At Crossroads, we believe following Jesus is a journey we take together. These five simple rhythms — Follow, Gather, Serve, Reach, and Be — can help you take your next step and grow in your faith.

Follow The One

Say Yes to Jesus

We follow Jesus not just in what we believe, but in how we live. And it all begins with a single, life-changing yes. Here’s what saying yes to Jesus actually means.

Admit

1

ADMIT

We’ve all gone our own way and fallen short of God’s best. The first step is simply being honest about that.

Romans 3:23

Believe

2

BELIEVE

Jesus took our place—He died for our sin and rose again so we could be made new and know God forever.

John 3:16

Commit

3

COMMIT

Following Jesus means giving Him your whole life—trusting Him and choosing to walk with Him every day.

Romans 10:9

I Said Yes!

Did you just say yes to Jesus for the first time? That’s the best decision you’ll ever make—and we don’t want you to do this next part alone. Let us know so we can celebrate with you and help you take your first steps. Then download the Yes Booklet, a simple guide to what your decision means and where to go from here.

Resources

Follow The One

Get Baptized

Baptism is your first act of obedience after saying yes — a public way of declaring that the old you is gone and the new life Jesus gives has begun. It doesn't save you; it celebrates that you've been saved. If you've decided to follow Jesus, this is your next step, and we'd love to be part of it.

Gather As One

Find Your Community

We weren’t meant to do life alone. The next part of the journey is finding your people—a place to belong, ask questions, and grow alongside others who are figuring it out too.

Start Serving
GET INVOLVED

There’s a place for you to make a difference. Whether you’re welcoming guests, caring for kids, or serving our city, you can use your gifts, meet new people, and be part of something bigger than yourself.

Reach The One

Share What You've Found

You were the one Jesus came for—and now you get to help reach the next one. Reaching people doesn’t start on the other side of the world. It starts right where you already are, and grows outward from there.

We'll Walk With You

Following Jesus is more than a moment — it’s a life shaped by Him. As you follow, gather, serve, and reach others, you begin to be the one who reflects Jesus wherever you go. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Take the next step, and let us help with the rest.
