Salvation
Becoming a follower of Jesus. You can take this step today, wherever you are.
Take the first step on your journey of faith
God loves you so much, just as you are right now. There is nothing you can do to make Him love you more or less. Because of that love, He sent His Son, Jesus, to die to pay the penalty for the sin that separates us from Him. Then He was resurrected. He came back to life as the ultimate victory over sin and death.
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
Salvation is a gift from God. It cannot be earned through our own efforts. You accept this gift by placing your faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus and choosing to live according to His Word. If you are ready to receive this gift and commit your life to Him, you can do that right now.
Decide to follow Jesus
You are a few simple steps away from entering into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Believe
Believe that Jesus died and rose again to pay the penalty for your sins and give you new life in Him.
Choose
Giving your life to Jesus is the first step. Growing to become more like Christ is a lifelong commitment.
Salvation prayer
If you are ready, pray the prayer below. There is nothing special about these exact words. Make them your own. What matters is a genuine need for God, belief in Jesus, and a commitment to Him.
Heavenly Father,
I come to you as a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Today, I make Jesus the Lord of my life. I believe He died so I could be forgiven and rose again to give me life. I receive this new life. This is my new beginning. I am a child of God.
Amen.
Congratulations on making the best decision of your life
When you decide to follow Christ, you get a new beginning. You are not just a better version of yourself. You are new. For whatever has held you back, there is healing and freedom in Christ. You are no longer walking alone. God's presence is with you every step of the way.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

Questions about salvation & following Jesus
Clear answers about the gospel, faith in Christ, and what to do next.
Salvation is a gift from God. It cannot be earned. Because of God's love, He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for the sin that separates us from Him, and Jesus rose again in victory over sin and death. We receive this gift by faith in Jesus Christ.
God made people to live in relationship with Him. Following Jesus is how you were created to live. Until we surrender our lives to God and live according to His Word, we remain separated from Him and misaligned from our purpose.
Sin separates us from God, and the penalty for sin requires a perfect sacrifice. Jesus came as a human, lived a perfect life, and gave Himself so we no longer have to be separated from God.
Start with the Gospel of John. It clearly shows who Jesus is and what it means to believe in Him. You can also explore our Bible Study pages for guided passages and discussion.
Tell someone you trust at church, keep reading the Bible (start with John), and take your next steps in community—Sunday worship, Cell Fellowship, and baptism when you are ready. Our pastors and Caring Team are glad to walk with you.
