Growing


 
At this stage of spiritual growth you are renewing or continuing your personal relationship with Christ. Through the power of the Holy Spirit you are able to trust him with your salvation and eternal life.  Yet, you are really just coming to understand what it means to be in a relationship with him. 

We hope that this page will help you begin, renew or continue your spiritual journey.  As a first step, we suggest that you find time to exercise all of the “valuable practices” listed below.  We also recommend that you consider some of the additional classes, training, practices and relationships that you feel would most facilitate spiritual growth in your life.
