To us, any teaching, outreach or service opportunities aid the disciple in growing and maturing in their walk with the Lord.  And we hope that walk is an intentional pathway into the very presence of God himself.
 
With these ideas in mind, virtually any group, men's or women's ministry, etc. enables people to improve their discipleship quotient.  As people make their way on their spiritual pilgrimage we want to be poised to always point them to their "next steps" in their growth cycle.  The path may likely not be exactly the same for any two people.  Some people have grown up in the church while many have not.  Some go through the steps A-B-C while others hop around, picking and choosing events and experiences that appeal to their interests and what God may be doing in their life at that particular time.
 
Our approach is not to paint a broad stroke for everyone or to pigeon-hole people neatly into categories.  By the same token, we believe we have found some core competencies that seem to be common denominators for our many people who are experiencing deep spiritual growth.  Among these are activities like journaling (reading scriptures & using sermon notes to meditate deeper on God's absolute truths and discovering ways to implement those truths daily into our lives), being active in a Life Group (a small group of 2-20 people that consistently and faithfully meet for Bible study, prayer and fellowship) and regular attendance in our weekend worship experiences (we were created to worship Him and our services give us ample chances to exercise that).
 
If you want to start down the path, but aren't sure how to begin please contact us immediately.  If you've already been walking the walk for a while but aren't sure what your next step should be, let us know and we'll be happy to provide some spiritual guidance.  "As iron sharpens iron," we look forward to spending much more time with each other inspiring us all to draw nearer to the Master!

We also have several different seminars offered throught the year.  If you would like to find-out when the next class is or have someone contact you about a plan, please fill-out the contact information below.  When you are ready to begin serving, there are many volunteer areas to get involved with.

Starting Point

Have you started to investigate Jesus and who he is? Have you thought about being baptized? Are you interested in Central and finding out who God has called us to be as a church? Do you want Central to be your church home? Starting Point is the experience you need to help you get started in your relationship with Jesus and with your spiritual journey here at Central.

We believe that God has called us to transform the Stateline Area into a Christ-like community. This will only happen as we each step up in our Journey with Jesus and move forward. Take that next step today. Use the tear off slip to the right to register for Starting Point. Participants must attend both days during the two weeks the seminar takes place.

Connecting Point

Have you made a personal commitment to Jesus? Have you attended Starting Point and decided that Central is going to be your church home?  Connecting point will help you to be able to get connected with a Life Group and / or one of our TNT groups, and show you how getting connected in relationships will help us in our journey with Jesus.

Serving Point

After starting our Journey with Jesus, and connecting with others on that Journey, He asks us to step up and lead.  For Jesus, that means servant leadership. Serving point will bring out the best in each of us as we follow the example of leadership that Jesus called his disciples to follow. All leaders here at Central are expected to attend Serving Point once each calendar year.

Multiplying Point

When we've sold out to Jesus, connected with other believers, and we're leading others by serving, we're ready to step up to the deepest commitment in discipleship-to multiply. He wants us to take what we're experiencing in our Journey with Him, and share it with others. He's called us to make disciples, who can make disciples, who can make disciples. Multiplying Point will provide tools and training that will empower you to be able to lead others through the discipleship journey here at Central.
