Read your Bible
The Bible is God’s Word and will guide you in your new life with Jesus. Start with the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) to learn about the life and teachings of Jesus.

Pray
Prayer is simply talking to God. Share your thoughts, needs, and give thanks to Him.
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thes 5:16)

Gather with a church
Fellowship with other believers will help you grow in your faith. Look for a local church that teaches the Bible.
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Join the Mission of Jesus
The Mission of Jesus has not changed in 2,000 years. In Matt 28:18-20 Jesus told us to "Go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
