Are you feeling a little stuck in your faith and looking for ways to grow? Sometimes we want to go deeper, but aren’t sure how. Here are some simple steps to consider:   

1. Accept Jesus as your personal savior. It’s the most important decision you'll ever make. Click here for a sample prayer.
   
2. Attend worship every Sunday. One of the best ways to develop your spiritual life is to meet regularly with other believers.
   
3. Check out the next Alpha course. There’s no better place for seekers, skeptics or believers to explore the basics of the Christian faith.
   
4. Get involved in a Growth Group. We’re made to grow and connect together.
   
5. Read the Bible and pray. Spend at least 20 minutes every day praying and reading God’s Word. To get started, download a Bible reading plan: 30 Days | 90 Days | 1 Year
   
6. Get a solid overview of the Bible by reading the first chapter of every book. Download Pastor Doug’s Cliff Notes on the Bible for deeper insight.  
   
7. Discover your SHAPE in Class 301.
   
8. Serve on a ministry team. You're never more like Jesus than when you are serving others because of Him. If you're looking for significance and fulfillment, then start serving today!
   
9. Lead a Growth Group. We are always looking for leaders so we can connect others into new groups, maybe it's time for you to step up and lead a group.
10. Go on a mission trip. If you want to make a difference in our community, country or around the world, step out in faith and join one of Woodside’s mission trips. Contact us for more info on upcoming trips.
