We Saved You a Seat

Your first visit to a new church can feel like a big step — we get it. Here’s everything you need to know so you can walk in with confidence and leave knowing you’re welcome.

WHAT TO EXPECT

One Service will change your life!

​

Our services are Spirit-led, biblically grounded, and full of warmth. Expect about 90 minutes of worship, teaching, and community. We start with passionate worship, move into a message from God’s Word, and close with prayer and an invitation to respond.

The atmosphere is warm, not formal. You’ll find people in suits and people in jeans — because the dress code is “come as you are.”

Your Journey Starts Here

Whether you walked in last Sunday or you’ve been here for years — there’s always a next step.

 

At Center of Life, growth is the goal. Not perfection — progress. Below you’ll find the pathway we’ve built to help you move from wherever you are into who God created you to be.

Steps To Get Involved: Formation before Deployment

Step 1: Follow Jesus

The most important decision you’ll ever make. If you’re ready to start a relationship with Jesus — or come back to one — we’d love to walk with you. This isn’t about religion. It’s about relationship with the God who made you on purpose, for a purpose.

Step 2: Get Baptized

Baptism is your public declaration that you belong to Jesus. It's not the finish line — it's the starting block. If you've made the decision to follow Christ, baptism is your next act of obedience and celebration.

Step 3: Start the Pathway

Seven books. One road. From the gate to maturity. We're not trying to get you through a curriculum — we're trying to get Christ formed in you. You walk the next book, with people beside you, and every one ends with a night, not a final page.

Step 4: Find Your People

You belong before you serve. A group is where the names become people — around a table, in a living room, on a Wednesday night. It's the difference between attending a church and being part of one.

Step 5: Discover Your Place

Ready to Call Center of Life Home?

Join a serve team, or explore your five-fold gifting. We believe everyone is called — and we'll help you discover how. Whether it's the Presence team, the Connection team or Outreach, there's a pillar where your gifts come alive.

New Partners is where you learn the heart, vision and governance of the house — what we believe, how we operate, and where you fit. It's also the doorway into the Formation Pathway. You don't have to finish the steps first.
