Our journey with Jesus can become complicated at times. Maybe you are new to the faith and simply need guidance, or maybe you have an extensive faith background but struggle to live out these truths in everyday life. Are you ready to grow in your faith? It all begins with trust.

The Wayfinder helps you explore how your understanding of who you are in Christ is shaping your life, discover where God may be inviting you to grow, and identify meaningful next steps in your journey of following Jesus.

This is a chance to be honest about where you really are, notice patterns in what you believe and how you live, and invite the Holy Spirit to keep changing you.

3 Guiding Principles:

Foundation
Our Identity Is a Gift of Grace
Through salvation, God gives us a new identity in Christ. We don’t earn who we are through what we do; we receive our identity through what God has done for us.
GOD'S WORD
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Transformation
God Forms Us to Become Like Christ
God transforms our hearts and minds as we learn to trust Him, renew our minds with His truth, and follow Jesus.
GOD'S WORD
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Romans 12:2NLT

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
2 Corinthians 3:18NLT

Participation
We Participate in What God Is Doing
We respond to God’s grace and participate in His transforming work through trust, surrender, and faithful obedience.
GOD'S WORD
Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
