At First Baptist Church of Lancaster, we believe faith is a journey, and everyone has a next step. No matter where you are, you belong here, and God is inviting you to grow, connect, and walk in purpose.
That’s why we’ve created a simple pathway to help guide your journey. Each step is designed to move you closer to God, deeper in community, and stronger in your calling. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Through small groups, serving opportunities, and intentional discipleship, we want to help you build meaningful relationships and grow in your walk with the Lord.
Here are a few ways you can get connected and take your next step:
Everyone’s journey starts with an invitation. “Come” is about creating a welcoming environment where people can encounter God, experience authentic worship, and feel at home. Whether it’s a Sunday service or a special event, this is where curiosity turns into connection.
After someone comes, they need community. “Connect” is about building relationships through small groups, serving teams, and meaningful conversations. This is where people move from being attendees to becoming part of the family.
Growth requires commitment. In this stage, individuals take intentional steps in their faith by saying yes to Jesus, getting baptized, and choosing to grow spiritually. It’s about moving from casual to committed in their walk with Christ.
This is where real transformation happens. “Cultivate” focuses on spiritual growth through discipleship, Bible study, prayer, and mentorship. People begin to develop their gifts, deepen their faith, and become spiritually mature.
We don’t just grow to stay, we grow to go. “Commission” is about sending people out to live on mission. Whether in the church, workplace, or community, individuals are equipped to serve, lead, and make disciples wherever God places them.
