Next Steps
Each of us has a next step to take. Whether you're just beginning to explore who Jesus is or you’ve been following Him for years, we’re here to walk alongside you as you move forward in your faith journey. We pray that everyone at Trinity grows deeper in their knowledge and love of God, and in their relationships with Him and others. Below are some next steps we encourage you to take as you continue growing in your faith.
Believe
If you’ve been exploring who Jesus is but haven’t yet acknowledged Him as your Lord and Savior, Scripture clearly teaches that those who believe in Him have eternal life. At Trinity, we believe faith in Jesus is the first and most important step, because it’s the moment we pass from death to new life, from lost to found, and from orphan to adopted son or daughter. When we place our faith in Christ, we are filled with the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to grow, serve, and share the gospel with others.
If you have questions about what it means to put your faith in Jesus, we would love to connect with you. Please reach out to a pastor.
CONNECT at ROOTED
ROOTED is an 11-week, small-group experience designed to connect you to God, the church, and your purpose. In a group of 10-16 people, you’ll explore the Bible, engage in prayer and serving experiences, share stories, and practice rhythms essential to a healthy Christian life. Whether you are exploring who Jesus is, new to following Him, or have followed Him for years, ROOTED will strengthen your faith and help you discover how your unique story fits into God’s epic story in human history. More info about the next class is available here.
GET BAPTIZED
Baptism is an important step of obedience that follows our personal decision to trust Jesus for salvation. It outwardly declares we belong to Him. Jesus Himself was baptized while on earth, and we follow His example when we take this step. When Christians 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.
If you are interested in being baptized or would like to learn more, we would love to walk with you in that process. Please contact a pastor or complete our Baptism Interest Form.
JOIN A COMMUNITY GROUP
In Community Groups, ideas and applications from Trinity services and classes are explored and practiced with other Christ followers. Transparency, accountability, and community come together to create a safe environment where everyone can use their unique gifts.
Community Groups don’t isolate from the world for safety or comfort. Instead, they unite to engage others in their local context at every opportunity, building relationships so the gospel can take root and transform lives. In Community Groups, acquaintances become friends, and friends become the family of God.
If you’re ready to join a Community Group, please contact Pastor Peter Sontag.
GIVE
Jesus gave everything for us when He went to the cross for our sin. In response, we joyfully give back to Him as an act of worship and trust, joining Him in the work He is doing in our city and around the world. When we give financially, we help fuel the mission of sharing the Good News in the South Metro and to the ends of the earth.
You can give online at any time, set up recurring giving through our Give page, or give during Sunday services in our giving baskets.
SERVE
Jesus has served us so faithfully, even to the point of giving His life for us. Because of that, we serve Him by serving others. Serving people within our church body and the broader community is one of the primary ways God grows us as believers.
We’d love to help you use your unique passions and gifts to serve others and make an impact. Please complete our Serving Interest Form, and someone from our staff will reach out to help you take your next step.
BECOME A MEMBER
We encourage everyone who calls Trinity their church home to consider church membership. Membership is a way of saying, “This is my church family,” and choosing to grow, serve, and walk in faith alongside a committed community. It reflects a shared commitment to live out our values and hold to the biblical truths we believe together.
Our membership process begins online, and you can start at any time. After that, you’ll have the opportunity to join a Q&A with a staff pastor before being affirmed by our Elder Team. If you’re interested in beginning the membership process, please email Deb Binder.
CULTIVATE A HABIT OF PRAYER
Christianity isn’t about religion — it’s about a reconciled relationship with the God of the universe. Because of Jesus, we now have direct access to God’s presence and can speak with Him anytime. It is in these moments of prayer that God shapes our hearts and aligns our will with His, forming us into the likeness of Christ.
If you have a prayer need, please submit your request — we’d love to pray for you.
