At Brookside, we’re all about helping to develop fully engaged followers of Christ. And in order to develop, we each have to take our next step – our next step toward Christ, toward being the person that he wants us to be. That next step may look different for each and every one of us. But we all have one.
Sometimes those next steps may take the form of an event organized by the church to help inform people and explain aspects of Christianity. We’ve collected the near-term opportunities here for easy reference as you figure out what your next step might look like.
Discover Sessions
We periodically hold various sessions that might be appropriate for you. Let us know if you are interested in any of the following, and we’ll be sure to get in touch the next time we are holding one of these sessions.
Discover Brookside
This free event for the whole family is for people who have been checking out Brookside recently. Meet some of our leaders and get a feel for what’s going on at Brookside and how we think God wants to use us.
Christianity Explored
If you have questions about the Christian faith, are a new Christian, or are returning to church for the first time in a while, this is for you. It takes place in a relaxed setting with food and friends. We get to talk about important faith-related questions and sort some things out about God and life.
Discover Baptism
Find out what the Bible teaches about baptism, why we think it’s important for every follower of Christ, and whether it might be a good next step for you.
Discover Partnership
Partnership with Brookside is a lot like membership, but with a different emphasis. Come find out what partnership with Brookside is and why we think it’s a significant part of being all the Jesus wants us to be.
Ongoing Opportunities
Whether it’s helping realize the mission of Brookside by volunteering to help make things happen, or getting better connected to others and God through one of our Life Groups, engaging in this way might be a great next step for you.
Get Involved
Your next step might be getting involved in helping to see the mission of Brookside be fulfilled. Depending on your wiring, your skills, and your schedule, there’s sure to be a good fit for you. Check out our Get Involved page to see what the possibilities might be.
Life Groups
One of the primary foundations for belonging, growing and serving are Life Groups. These groups are usually about 5 to 12 people meeting weekly for study or for living out our faith by meeting the needs of others or by just having some fun together.
We have several active groups in different parts of our community. If you might be interested in joining one, let us know and we’ll help figure out what might work best.
If you don’t see something here that fits with what you think your next step might be, send us a message and let’s see if we can figure it out together.
