Get your bearings. What is the terrain like on this part of your journey? What are your challenges or questions? Take a look at the following travelers to see if any describe you. You may resonate with more than one. You are unique!

For each “traveler” we’ve provided some potential next steps. These steps are not the end, but the means. Our goal is to be growing in love for God and others. Click on the traveler that best describes you for further resources.

• Exploring — Do you feel drawn to God, but unsure what or if you believe?
• Embarking — Do you have a desire to take some first steps beyond coming to worship on Sunday?
• Re-orienting — Have you taken a detour from following Christ and desire to get back on track or are you entering a new season of life that affects your faith journey?
• Resting — Do you need healing, encouragement, or restoration?
• Trail-blazing — Do you desire to stretched - to allow God to use you in positions of leadership, open to stewarding your gifts, talents and resources in new ways for the kingdom?

This is another way of saying, “Who am I becoming?” Our faith journey is fueled by a recognition that God first loves and forgives us. In response, our goal is discipleship: to follow Jesus (Christ), love others (Community), and live missionally (Cause) through the power of the Holy Spirit.
