Welcome to a fresh start with God!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEw relationship with god.

We believe God is up to so many good things in your life. The decision to follow Jesus is the most important decision you’ll ever make!

HERE ARE A FEW NEXT STEPS WE’D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU WITH YOUR DECISION

First, call or talk to a friend who is a follower of Jesus and let them know the decision you made. Ask them to pray for you and to encourage you. If you don’t have that friend just yet - you can send us a quick text: 812-725-6380. We’d love to celebrate and pray with you.    

Second, find a local church community. Every church is a little different in size and style. But church is a local community of people following Jesus. Not full of perfect people, but people looking to Jesus as their Savior and following Him by the strength of the Holy Spirit. We’d love to connect you at Hillside, BUT we also know God has some amazing other local churches in southern Indiana (or where you live) to get connected in. Our big hope is that you’d find a local church to be planted in, be encouraged, and equipped in the ways of Jesus, and find Godly, healthy friendships in.  Ask the Lord to help you with this next step.  If possible, definitely try to be back in church this coming Sunday.

Third, consider downloading the Bible App. The Bible App is a free app that has several Bible plans to get you going in the Bible, as well as to encourage you with questions or difficulties you may be walking through. We also have a 8 day daily devotional to help you in your fresh start with Jesus. CLICK HERE to open up the plan. The link will take you to the plan, and if you have the Bible App you’ll be able to automatically open it. The Bible App is a completely free resource to help you in your journey with God.

Fourth, prayerfully consider taking the next step of water baptism. Water baptism is an outward expression of the inner reality of your new life in Jesus Christ. At Hillside we schedule our baptisms quarterly and would love to baptize you.

Congratulations again on your decision to follow Jesus! We are praying for you and want to be available to help anyway we can as you grow in your relationship with God. Have a question? Give us a call or send a text to: 812-725-6380 or send us an EMAIL.
