Begin

Thank you for engaging in the next steps process at The Chapel. Your next step matters to us, and it is an honor to walk alongside you on your journey of faith. Use this page to reference all content, resources, and forms associated with Begin. 

Begin is a four week experience designed to help individuals begin their spiritual formation process with our church and to begin their commitment to Christ alongside other believers at our church. The  classes will cover many foundational truths of the Christian faith - specificially what it means to be saved by God, loved by God, and adopted by God into His family. These classes are designed to help participants connect with each other and also begin connecting with our church. The primary next steps for all individuals after Begin are baptism (if needed) and Belong.

BELONG

Belong is a three week experience designed to help people continue their spiritual formation, as well as begin their commitment to our church. These classes will continue to integrate spiritual formation and foundational truths, and will lead individuals toward onboarding as members of our church. They will get connected to community groups and will begin onboarding to serve. The goal of Belong is to help participants to see their role in the mission of God and to move participants into broader membership care and development. The primary next step for all individuals after Belong are membership interviews, serving, and connecting to a community group.
