Make Prayer a Part of Your Day
In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, the Bible says to “Never stop praying.” God wants us to have an ongoing conversation with Him throughout the day. Nothing is too small for Him to care about in our lives. Just like in any relationship, you get to know God by spending time with Him!
Worship
One of the best ways to connect with God is through worship! Worship can happen with or without music. It is simply taking our attention and putting it on Jesus. When we worship, we tell Jesus how much we love Him, express our thanks to Him, and give Him praise because of His goodness.

Being Baptized
Next Baptism: August 9th, 2026
Baptism is an important step of obedience that shows others we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example. When followers of Jesus are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus, and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection.
Could this be your next step?
Listen to this powerful baptism story.
