Spiritual Development Pathway

What is the Spiritual Development Pathway?

This is a simple, step-by-step journey designed to help people grow in their faith: Know God, Build Community, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference — guiding everyone, no matter where they start, to take their next step fully alive in Christ.

This isn't meant to be a checklist just to check off each item, but it's designed to show clear Next Steps to help you keep moving forward in your faith. "Direction, not perfection. One next step at a time."

How Do I get Started?

You will receive a text message with a special link specific to you. Tap that link to begin.

1. You will be given a list of Next Steps. Check off all that you have completed or that is already a regular practice for you.
2. On Step 2, you will have the opportunity to choose your Focus Step for this year.
3. On Step 3, we will ask for your basic contact info. If you'd like someone to walk with you, following up with you occasionally for encouragement, check the box.
4. Once you tap Complete Setup, you will be taken to your Personal Dashboard showing you all of your completed Next Steps, your Focus Step, and all other Next Steps that we have available. Under each Next Step is more info about that step, links to find out even more or register (if applicable), and choose a new Focus Step.

You can return to your Personal Dashboard at any time using the link that you received in your text messages or by texting GROWTH to 912-584-3531.

NOTE: Your Personal Dashboard is tied to your phone number, so you must use the same phone number when texting to receive your Personal Dashboard link.
