Step 04: How to Share
Find out what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself and make a difference in the world by sharing what Jesus has done for you in a way that uses your God-given talents.
GroupLife
Small groups have a simple purpose: connecting people in community.
We all need each other and that’s why we have GroupLife. We believe God created us to live in relationship with other people. When we have people to encourage us, pray with us, serve with us and learn with us, life is always better. It takes being intentional, but the result of having people to “do life with” is worth the effort.
Whether you’re meeting in someone's home, a coffee shop, at church or online, Small Groups are how we care for each other.
It’s less about where and more about who and what. Small groups are a regular gathering of people who connect and encourage each other, engage in conversation around scripture and pray together. It is vital to have people who can celebrate the highs and walk with you through the lows of life.
Leading A Small Group!
Leading a Small Group isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others by giving them a place to connect and grow.
We have people looking for groups all the time. If you would be interested in hosting a group in your home or somewhere else (coffee shop, restaurant, library, workplace, etc.), or you’d like to know how to become a group leader/facilitator (yes, we offer training for this!), click the button below.
Baptism
An Outward Expression of an Inward Decision
Baptism is a celebration of a person’s decision to follow Jesus. At First B we look forward to celebrating whenever someone makes that important decision! Therefore, we celebrate baptism with people who are old enough to make their own profession of faith in Jesus. If you have made a decision to place your trust in Jesus Christ and have not yet been baptized, let us know so we can celebrate alongside you!
Step 1
You have decided to follow Jesus and would like to go public with your faith!
Step 2
You are invited to fill out the baptism contact form below so we can celebrate this decision with you!
Step 3
After submitting the baptism contact form, a First B staff member will send you a Faith Journey form where you are invited to reflect on Jesus being the Leader and Forgiver of your life and your understanding of baptism!
Step 4
The First B staff member you have chosen to baptize you will meet with you to walk through the form and hear more about your story!
