Building Stage
Building is about learning about your faith, growing in spiritual habits, and forming a foundation through Scripture, prayer, and community as you begin to build your life around Jesus.
Welcome to the Building Stage
Your faith is growing, and now you’re in the vital stage of learning what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life. This is where you build the foundational knowledge and spiritual rhythms (like Scripture, prayer, and community) that will support your faith journey for years to come. It’s a season of discovery and growth, where you’re not just believing but actively learning to shape a life centered on Christ, establishing the spiritual foundation that transforms belief into a way of living.
What the Building Stage Looks Like

Building Christian Community
You’re intentionally connecting with other believers, recognizing that faith grows best in relationship with others who share your journey.
