OTHER NEXT STEPS

BE BAPTIZED

Water baptism is a way for believers to outwardly express what God has done in their hearts and lives in the presence of other believers. When you are baptized in water, you are identifying yourself with Jesus. Family and friends are encouraged to attend and celebrate this significant decision.

So, if you’ve made the decision to follow Christ, baptism is one of the most meaningful next steps you can take. Celebrate with Chapel during the next Baptism Weekend. For more info visit our Baptism page.

CHILD DEDICATION
CHILD DEDICATION

Child Dedication is an opportunity for parents to publicly declare their intent to raise their child in a way that honors God and also give the child the opportunity to eventually have a personal relationship with Jesus. In many ways a “child dedication” service is truly a “parent dedication” service, as parents publicly declare to raise their child in the faith until the child is old enough to make his own personal confession of Christ. It’s also a time for family, friends, and the church body here at Chapel to say we will partner with you, as best we can, to see that this takes place.

JOIN A GROUP

Our Community Groups are the way we make a big church feel small. Groups meet here on campus and all across the Shoals and simply do life together; laughing, growing and pursuing Jesus in all seasons of life. Life is not meant to be lived alone. We encourage you to get in a Community Group so that you get to experience gospel-centered community with others while pursuing God, growing together, and being an extension of Jesus in the Shoals together.
