CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH
COME
PLACE YOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
The world has a sin problem, and no one is immune to it. The Bible tells us that there is a punishment for all who sin, and that is eternal separation from God. However, in the midst of our inability to change this problem, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the solution. It is only through Him, through His great sacrifice, that we are able to have a relationship with God and be saved from our own failures and from the eternity we really deserve. The invitation is to admit one’s sin and inability to do anything about it, to believe in Him and the Gospel story, and to confess Him as Lord of one’s life.
If you want to know more about how to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, please give our church a call and ask to speak to one of our leaders. We will reach out to you shortly.

BAPTISM
WHAT IS BAPTISM?
Baptism is raising your flag for Jesus Christ! It’s telling the world that you have a new boss and a new life, and that your life is going to reflect this change in leadership. The old has gone, the new has come!
If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and your Savior, but have not yet been baptized, then baptism is your next best step. Schedule it today by contacting us.
JOIN
BECOME A MEMBER
When an individual is saved, he becomes a member of the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). Because he is united to Christ and the other members of the body in this way, he is therefore qualified to become member of a local expression of that body.
To become a member of a church is to formally commit oneself to an identifiable, local body of believers who have joined together for specific, divinely ordained purposes. These purposes include receiving instruction from God’s Word (1 Tim. 4:13; 2 Tim. 4:2), serving and edifying one another through the proper use of spiritual gifts (Rom. 12:3-8; 1 Cor. 12:4-31; 1 Pet. 4:10-11), participating in the ordinances (Luke 22:19; Acts 2:38-42), and proclaiming the gospel to those who are lost (Matt. 28:18- 20). In addition, when one becomes a member of a church, he submits himself to the care and the authority of the biblically qualified elders that God has placed in that assembly.
If you believe that membership is your next best step, we’d love to help you join! You can either walk forward during the invitation at the end of the service you attend or you can meet with the pastor during the week. Contact us if you have questions or are ready to take the next step and join the South Quay Family.
GROW
GROW IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
At South Quay Baptist Church, we are committed to creating community. The key to connecting is getting involved in Bible Study classes. Our current opportunities include Sunday school and Sunday morning worship where our pastor teaches from God's Word. As our fellowship grows, class selections will increase. Learning with others helps you make wonderful friends that you can begin “doing life” with. Bible Study times are designed to challenge you every week to grow in your faith. Whether you have never owned a Bible or hold a Master’s Degree in Theology, come join us. You will be glad you did!
serve
USE YOUR GIFTS & TALENTS TO HELP OTHERS
As God adds to our numbers, opportunities to serve will also grow. Volunteers are a vital part of our goal to serve people inside our church, people in our community, and people all around the world. Volunteering allows you to use the incredible gifts God has given you, meet new people, and make friends inside and outside of the South Quay fellowship!
If you are looking to use your time and gifts to impact people for Jesus, there are several different ways to serve. Contact us and one of our members will reach out to you shortly about discovering your place to serve.
GIVE
SUPPORT THE WORK GOD IS DOING THROUGH THE SOUTH QUAY FAMILY
Giving is an important part of the Christian life. We give out of joy for the work God is doing in our families, community, and the world. We give out of obedience and because it’s a great way to honor the Lord for all that He has generously given us. We give because it is an act of worship that shows God who is in control of our lives. We give, because at the end of the day, everything is His to begin with – and we are all just stewards of His resources. Lastly, we give because of the great opportunity. When you give, you open the door to reaching more people through the people, programs and ministries that are committed to seeing Jesus change lives. And if you ask us, that is a cause worth giving to.
