Four weeks. Four important conversations.
Week 1: How to begin your faith journey.

Week 2: How to read your Bible and pray.
Learn why the Bible and prayer are foundational to following Jesus, discover practical ways to engage with Scripture, and begin developing habits that help you grow in your relationship with God.
Week 3: How to begin to live out your faith.
Discover how following Jesus shapes the way we live every day. We’ll explore serving others, living generously, and how each of us can make an impact by becoming the Church and joining God’s work through Central.
Week 4: How to follow Jesus together.
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. We’ll explore how God uses relationships to grow our faith, opportunities to connect through Rooted and other groups at Central, and how to prayerfully identify your next step.
