Have you asked this question before? We believe growing closer to God doesn’t have to be complicated. Ultimately, only God can bring about spiritual growth. However, there are some things we can do that help create an environment for spiritual growth. Taken from scripture, these activities are summarized by our 3 Circles. Much like a balanced diet will lead to health and growth physically, we believe a steady involvement in these three activities will help lead you to spiritual health and growth. Look for these 3 Circles to find the opportunities for each one.
We believe we were all created to be in a personal, real relationship with God. You can connect with God in personal ways and public ways. Our worship services every weekend offer a public, shared opportunity for everyone to connect with God through worship. It is also important that we all learn to connect with God personally and privately. Reading the Bible and praying are essential activities for anyone who desires to connect with God. If you would like some resources in learning how to read and understand the bible, how to pray, or how to connect with God, feel free to email us at info@fwcalive.com.
We believe that life is meant to be shared with others, and that God intends for us to experience life together in relationship. By connecting with others at FWC/ALIVE, you learn their story, their faith journey, and how their story relates with your own. You also find friends and people to do life with. We are much stronger together than we are separate - as people in general, and also spiritually. You will find various “small groups” of people in this catalog where you can make this connection.
We believe that a relationship with God should compel us to make a difference in the community and world around us. If God so loved the world, then so will we. God longs to bring healing, hope, and grace to a broken world, and we are God's primary means of doing that. When you connect to serving the needs of people, the community, and the world, you will also connect to the heart of God and understand who He is on a deeper level. Through our Serve Groups and various other ways, you can find various opportunities to serve and connect to our community. If you have any trouble finding a place to serve, please email us at info@fwcalive.com.
