Next Steps at GCF
At Grace Christian Fellowship we believe everyone has a Next Step in their faith journey; we’re here to support and resource you along the way. Here are some common Next Steps at GCF.
Baptism
Baptism is one of the next steps you can take on your faith journey. This is an outward act of an inward fact. It’s kind of like a wedding ring that doesn’t make someone married, but it shows everyone that they are already married. Baptism symbolizes something similar.
If you’ve stopped running from God, realized your deep need for Jesus, and put your faith and trust in Jesus’ perfect life, death and resurrection on your behalf to save you, then we want to invite you to take your first step of obedience through believer’s baptism!

Serve
Followers of Jesus serve others because King Jesus himself modeled this life of service for us. He said, “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet” (John 13:14).
At GCF, we love through serving because God loved us through serving first, and we have lots of awesome opportunities for you, including:
