I'm New/Next Steps
Hello and welcome to Christ Centered Church here in Troy, Missouri! We’re so glad you’ve joined us.
​Whether this is your first Sunday or you’ve been coming for a few weeks, we believe God has a purpose for bringing you here.
​
​​At Christ Centered Church, our mission is simple: Rescue. Love. Serve.
We’re honored to walk this journey with you, and we can’t wait to see all that God will do in and through your life.
Welcome to the family!
Step 1: Salvation – Receiving Jesus as Your Savior
The first and most important step is to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
The Bible says in Romans 10:9, “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
If you’ve made that decision — congratulations! You’ve begun a brand-new life in Christ.
If you’re still exploring faith, we’d love to talk and pray with you about what it means to follow Jesus.
Step 2: Baptism – Going Public with Your Faith
After salvation, your next step is baptism.
Baptism is an outward sign of the inward change that’s already happened in your heart.
It’s your way of saying, “I belong to Jesus!”
At Christ Centered Church, we celebrate baptism as a family — it’s one of the most powerful moments in your walk with God.
You can sign up for the next baptism at the Welcome Desk or by following this link.
Step 3: Grow Spiritually - Read and Live God's Word
A healthy relationship with Jesus grows through God’s Word.
Start reading your Bible every day — even a few minutes makes a difference.
​
We recommend beginning with the Gospel of John to understand who Jesus is and how deeply He loves you.
You can also join one of our small groups to study Scripture with others who are growing in their faith.
Step 4: Membership Matters Workshop – Discover Your Church Family
Your next step is to learn what it means to be part of the Christ Centered family by attending our Membership Matters Workshop.
In this one-session workshop, you’ll hear about our vision, our values, and how you can be part of what God is doing here.
You’ll meet our church leaders, ask questions, and find out how to officially become a covenant partner of the church.
Step 5: Get Involved – Serve, Connect, and Belong
Faith grows best in community.
At Christ Centered Church, there’s a place for everyone to serve — from kids and youth ministries to worship, hospitality, and outreach.
When you serve, you’re not just volunteering — you’re partnering with God to impact lives for eternity.
