STARTING LINE

STEP 1: CONVERSATION

When people respond to the altar call, go to them, ask them their name and invite them to the Starting Line at the front left of the auditorium

STEP 2: RESPONSE

Ask them what did their response mean for them? Talk thoroughly through believing in Jesus and repenting from sins

3. CELEBRATE

After you have confidence they’re sincere and that this is a real decision to follow Jesus, give them a Bible to read and Celebrate their decision to follow Jesus!

STEP 4: INFO & BIBLE

Have them fill out a "Start Here" QR Code and ask their permission to get their contact info on your phone so you can follow up with them (Small Group Leaders and Staff will BOTH follow up with individuals)

STEP 5: BAPTISM

Encourage them to consider getting baptized the following week, there’s a QR code at the Starting Line or they can go online at mygateway/tv/baptisms

Invite them to any of the docks or den to help them get plugged into a small group where they can grow in their faith.

STEP 6: BELONG TO A SMALL GROUP

The purpose of the Next Steps or New Believers class is to assist newly born-again individuals in growing spiritually. Many new believers lack proper discipleship, leading to spiritual decline. This 4-week course aims to offer practical steps, guided by Luke 5:1-11, to help new believers stay on the right path with God's help and guidance until His return.
