The second step in our Faith Walk at The Park is growing deeper.  This takes on many different looks for someone involved at The Park.  Consider the season of your life, and the rhythm and factors of what is going on around you then be purposeful about taking a shot at one or many of these practices that will cause you to grow closer to God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit.

• Become a Servant
• Join a Small Group
• Take on the challenge of teaching your faith to your kids
• Pick up a Bible and start reading (hot tip – start with one of these books of the Bible…Matthew, Mark, Luke or John)
• Start Praying on purpose…that’s a little bit of talking, and a whole lot of listening!
• Do some research and consider taking communion or being baptized
• Make Sunday Worship a habit
• Talk to someone about your faith, make a connection, find someone to learn from
• Journal, start writing out your thoughts ideas and questions about and to God
• Try “fasting” or avoiding something – this will remind you of what you really need – a God who is over the top in love with you!
• Self Examination – make a daily inventory of your character traits that may need to be strengthened, and simply ask…”How did I do today?” and  “God please make me stronger.”
• Offer hospitality at home, work, neighborhood, or even at church and be reminded of how much God offers love and grace to us
• Go on a week long mission trip out of your home, neighborhood, state, or even country

There are limitless ways to purposefully grow closer to God…what best suits and challenges you ?  At The Park you can find a community excited about getting closer to God and growing deeper.
