This section is devoted to helping Christians grow in their faith and maturity. It provides various "how-to" articles and other tips designed to expand our spirituality and enhance God's ministries.

CrossChristian Milestones

From the moment we first decide to become a Christian we embark on a new journey in our lives.  This journey is marked by several milestones which identify how far we have come and how far we still have to go.  It is important to note that as you pass a milestone you are expected to maintain everything you had previously achieved.  Each milestone is an additional requirement added on to all the previous ones.  As you progress, you will move from a beginner to a moderate to a mature Christian.  Even if we reach all the milestones we must continually work hard just to maintain and improve upon our position.

Where are you in your journey?  Use these milestones as both a guide and as a set of goals to help you find your way through this journey as a Christian.

Beginner Christians

  • You have accepted the gift of salvation.
  • You fellowship with other Christians (Ex: Attend a church).
  • You have learned how to pray.

Moderate Christians

  • You study the Bible on your own and attend small group studies.
  • You have increased your prayer life by praying on a regular basis.
  • You are involved in service work by fulfilling the needs of others.

Mature Christians

  • You pray persistent, heart-felt prayers for others in accordance with God’s will on a regular basis.
  • Through prayer you have given your will over to God that his will may be done in all things throughout your life.
  • You have begun to and continue to transfer the spiritual knowledge you had previously learned from your mind into your heart.  In so doing, you are now putting into practice the things that you had learned.
  • You follow Christ’s example in your daily life and demonstrate his love through your actions.
  • You have obtained an unshakeable faith and trust in God that never wavers even in the midst of trials and turmoil.
