Have you ever been lost? Roads can be difficult enough to navigate without all the misplaced signs, dips in the road, unexpected turns, and car-sized potholes. Wouldn't it be nice to have a road map for life? Since one doesn't actually exist, we offer the next best thing: direction for your spiritual journey through life. We call it LifePath. "LifePath" simply describes how a believer grows in maturity through partnership with the local church. Walking the LifePath No one can make you grow spiritually. Yet growth cannot occur in isolation. So how does someone become the complete person God has in mind? Your own journey to maturity requires two actions: 1. Personal Spiritual Growth—You choose to take responsibility for your personal spiritual growth to…       * KNOW Christ: “I have committed my life to Christ and publicly professed my           faith in baptism”        * GROW in Christ: “I am growing in my relationship with Christ through God’s           Word and prayer”       * SERVE Christ: “I am following Christ by serving God and others”       * SHARE Christ: “I am living and sharing my faith in Christ with my world”       * WORSHIP Christ: “I am striving to honor Christ in every area of my life” 2. Partnership with the Church Community—You choose to connect with the church family, your LifePath community. Rather than being a spectator, you participate in the many opportunities provided to encourage your growth. “In partnership with the church, I will grow through…”       * Corporate worship        * Connections Pathway       * LifePath seminars and home groups       * Ministry and Missions As part of the LifePath community, you will discover insights about yourself, about God, and about your relationship with Him that will be essential for taking life's turns successfully. All it takes is a little time and effort and you'll find you have the West Side advantage when the rubber meets the road.
