Spiritual Growth

We want to help inspire you to live the life God dreams for you as we spread His love in ever-widening circles. Following the way of Jesus starts with a decision. Growing more like Him takes (1) intentionality, (2) is communal, (3) requires our engagement, (4) is ultimately accomplished by the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives, (5) is for the glory of God, for our benefit and for the service of others. To do this, our pastoral team develops a specific plan to help people follow the way of Jesus, which includes a new spiritual growth theme each Trimester, a Bible reading plan, a recommended reading, and opportunities to commit to community and weekly worship.

PRAYER & FASTING GUIDE

TRIMESTER 1 | 2026

This Trimester, our theme is Mystery. The Christian faith and living according to God’s Word and ways can, at times, feel like a mystery. During this Trimester, we’ll de-mystify some of the most mysterious subjects one may face in their day-to-day life: the Holy Spirit, managing money, and the book of Revelation. Here is what to expect over the next few months:

Series 1: The Mystery of the Holy Spirit: How God's Presence Powers Your Life

Launches Sunday, January 4

Uncover the mystery of the Holy Spirit — God’s living presence within us — in this series. Discover how the Spirit can comfort, guide, empower, and transform your everyday life, providing you with new divine strength and purpose.

Series 2: The Mystery of Money: Unveiling Biblical Secrets of Wealth, Worth, & Worship

Discover Biblical truths behind money’s true purpose, how wealth can be a tool for worship and eternal impact, and how to manage your resources God’s way. This series will help you find freedom in faithful stewardship and learn to see money as a means to glorify God.

Series 3: The Mystery of the Book of Revelation: God's Plan for Today and the End of Time

Launches Sunday, March 8

The book of Revelation is one of great mystery, and in this series, you’ll learn to study and understand Scripture with courage, clarity, and confidence, knowing that Jesus reigns as the triumphant King and God is sovereign.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH PLAN

Orienting our entire way of life around the way of Jesus is the catalyst for our human flourishing. Some routines that have proven to be primarily essential for our spiritual growth are our formed habits around the Spiritual Practices, like scripture reading, engagement in weekly community within a small group, and gathering together weekly as a church to worship God. Use this page to learn more, or engage in each of these practices, resources and opportunities for community and service.

Grow in your life with God.

SPIRITUAL PRACTICES

Spiritual Practices are to spiritual formation what exercise is to strength training - they are a way to grow into power to be transformed into a new kind of person. These practices don't transform us, God does by the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, however; they do create the time and space for God to do the inner work of deep transformation.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRACTICES

DAILY SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT

Scripture tells us the story of God working out His plan to redeem the world. When we read scripture, we find our place in God’s story, and we learn about how to live within the story.

Each class builds intentionally, guiding you through a pathway of transformation and next steps.

GATHER ON SUNDAYS

Hebrews 10:25 "We should not stop gathering together with other believers, as some are in the habit of doing. Instead, we must continue to encourage each other..." Sunday worship experiences are the primary way we gather as a church to worship together, learn from the teaching, pray for one another, and grow in our faith. We encourage you to commit to attending one of our services at either our West Orange Campus or Online Campus.
