Following Jesus is a brand new beginning. It is the start of a transformed life with God, where old things pass away and everything becomes new. At Gateway we believe every person has a next step with Jesus. This is the beginning of learning to know Him, love Him, and walk with Him every day.
Knowing Jesus is the most important step you can ever take. It’s not about religion or rules, but about a real relationship with Him. He gave His life on the cross and rose again so you could be forgiven, free, and have eternal life. The Bible says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
Following Jesus is a journey, step by step and day by day. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about walking with Him. Here are some simple first steps to help you begin.
The Bible is how God speaks to us. Start with the Gospel of John or Mark. Read one chapter a day and ask, “What does this show me about Jesus?”
Prayer is just a conversation with God. Be honest. Be real. Talk to Him about your day, your struggles, your thanks, and your hopes.
Come to church each Sunday. You’ll grow in your faith, learn from God’s Word, and meet others on the journey.
Baptism is a powerful next step that shows the world you belong to Jesus. We’ll help you understand what it means and walk you through it.
You weren’t made to follow Jesus alone. Join our New Christians Small Group to build friendships, ask questions, and grow in your faith—one step at a time.
Following Jesus is just the beginning. Every disciple is called to take further steps, and the next step is to be baptised. Baptism is how you go public with your faith and show that you belong to Jesus.
