Next to Now Course
Welcome to Next to Now—a three-part discipleship journey designed to move you from the foundations of faith to becoming an active member of today’s church. This course provides a clear, apostolic roadmap through three intentional phases: Graft In, where we establish core doctrine and the plan of salvation; Build Up, where we develop the habits of holy living and spiritual identity; and Send Out, where you discover your unique gifts and join the mission of the Kingdom.
Whether you’re just starting your walk or looking to solidify your foundation, these lessons are here to guide the "next" generation into the "now" of God’s calling.
