CONGRATULATIONS on your interest to explore what First Step is all about at Journey Christian Church. We believe First Step is more than a one-time event. It is an opportunity as a parent to take some time early on to focus on what really matters most in the life of your child. No one will have more influence on your child than YOU! As a church we believe what happens at home is more important than what happens at church. We want to partner with you from the very beginning as you learn to disciple your family.

This event is not infant baptism. We believe that when people are old enough to understand what it means to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, they should have the opportunity to make that choice for themselves. This event is a celebration of your commitment as a parent to disciple your child to know, love, and follow Jesus.

1. INVITE: Intentionally choose guests that you would like to speak directly into the lives of your family. Whose voice do I need to hear? Whose voice does your child need to hear? Invite those who can give you advice on parenting, hold you accountable, and help you disciple your children. Let them know why you invited them! There will be a total of 10 seats available to include your family and guests.

2. PHOTOS: After you register, you will receive a link to upload 3 photos of your child(ren).

3. HOMEWORK: We will encourage you to write a letter or prayer to your child. You will be asked to share this letter at your table during the celebration event. More information will be sent in an email after you register.
