Following Jesus

What does it mean to follow Jesus? God loves you right where you are, but He loves you too much to leave you where you are. Following Jesus means embracing a life of surrender to Him. It’s more than a one-time prayer or consistent church attendance. It’s a gritty, heart-level posture that affects every area of life. And there’s always a next step.

As we read through scripture we can’t help but notice a path that God most often leads His people down. It starts with knowing and loving Him and leads to knowing and loving people.

We’re convinced following Jesus is an invitation to…
  • Know God
  • Grow in Freedom
  • Discover Purpose
  • Go Make a Difference
  • We are all on a journey, and our hope for you is that you find Church on the Move to be a safe place to continue yours.

Know God

You were created to know God relationally. This is more than head knowledge. Jesus’ life and His death on the cross show us the infinite lengths God is willing to go to have a close relationship with us. Following Jesus means knowing and being known by a God who is wild about us.

Discover Purpose

Purpose isn’t something we create or choose, it’s something we discover. You were created in the image of God with a unique purpose. Often the thing He saves you from is connected to the thing He wants to use you for. Simply put, God didn’t just save you from something, He saved you for something!

Grow in Freedom

Following Jesus also means becoming more like Him. Your salvation and eternity are secure the moment you accept Jesus as your savior, but becoming like Him is a journey that can’t happen in isolation. Becoming more like Jesus means letting go of your past with the help of a loving community.

Go Make a Difference

Following Jesus means going out into our world, loving your neighbors, and making a difference. When you follow Jesus you find great joy in giving generously, praying boldly, serving consistently. Freely we have received, freely we go make a difference!
