In Gospel of Matthew 28:19, Jesus invites His followers to go and make disciples. So you might be wondering, what does that really mean—and what does it look like here at Spring Baptist Church?
At its core, a disciple is simply someone who follows Jesus. It’s not about checking off a list or reaching some kind of “spiritual level.” It’s about taking steps toward Him—learning to trust Him, walking with Him, and receiving the grace He freely offers.
Discipleship isn’t about arriving somewhere; it’s about the direction your life is moving. It’s choosing to live on mission with Jesus each day, growing along the way rather than waiting until you feel “ready” or fully mature
OUR PROCESS
FIRST STEPS
First steps are actions you take early in your faith journey and include the decision to follow Jesus, baptism, attend a new member class, and become a member of Spring Baptist Church. All of these are designed to welcome you into the life of the church.
NEXT STEPS
Next steps are designed to help you grow, be encouraged, and experience fresh life in your spiritual journey. Each step includes opportunities to both deepen your faith and live it out in meaningful ways.
Deepen opportunities typically come in the form of short-term classes with clear start and end dates. These classes cover practical and life-giving topics like how to study the Bible, living as a missionary in your everyday life, sharing your faith with others, and more.
The Deploy side creates space for you to put your faith into action—serving others through local, regional, and national mission opportunities.
ONGOING STEPS
Ongoing steps are where you live life with other Christians in the church. Our primary Ongoing Steps are our LifeGroups (small groups where people study the Bible together, love and support each other, and learn to apply the Bible to daily living) and the Sunday morning worship times (when the entire church body gathers to sing, pray, and hear the Bible preached). These experiences are designed to equip you to run the race of faith with endurance.
