Do you know your life needs to change?
Seeking God
The first step for each of us is to begin looking for God. He has been looking for us, even when we ignored Him or were completely unaware of His existence. But hopefully if you are here, you are seeking God and an understanding of eternal and spiritual things. Click here to find out more about the good news of Jesus.
Following God
Once we have begun a journey of faith with God, there is much to learn about who He is, how He loves us, how holy and good He is and what He offers to us. God has prepared and inheritance for each of His children and God wants to help us grow as disciples of Jesus. Click here to read more about the Christian life.
Serving God and others
Once we have journeyed with God for a while, we realize that He doesn’t want us to simply worry about our own lives and our own needs but that we also need to serve others and help others to know God. Click here to discover more about being a servant and leader to others.
Prayer and spiritual direction
We know that God has given us the gift and the privilege of prayer in order to seek God’s glory and His will. Let me know how I can pray together with you.

In our journey to become like Christ we cannot isolate ourselves or attempt to live our faith alone. We need others. We need the church. We need spiritual guidance.
