GROWTH TRACK AT VININGS CHURCH

"A Goal With No Plan Is Just A Wish"

Did you know that successful goal-setters often create a plan to reach their dreams? Whether it's using GPS for directions or mapping out a career path, a plan makes progress possible. Many prioritize growing in faith but lack a concrete plan to do so. At Vinings Church, we want to partner with you on this journey—helping you grow spiritually and inspiring others along the way. Here's a roadmap to get you started. Remember, there will be highs and lows, but God is always guiding you, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

1. Attend A Service

When you walk through these doors, we want you to feel truly welcome—because this is a place where you belong, no matter your previous experience with church. The music is engaging and uplifting, and the message is inspiring and empowering. Every element of the service is designed to prepare you to face the week ahead in communion with God. For many, this is their first step toward growing in their faith. While this is a wonderful place to start, don’t stop here—there’s so much more to discover on this journey by taking the next steps forward.

2. Be A Part Of A Community Group

Vinings Church makes it easy to find your next best friend while deepening your faith and using your gifts for God's kingdom. Join a Growth Group to connect with others at your life stage—online or in person—offering support and community through life's storms. It's like being part of a team, with friends and a coach cheering you on! Additionally, serving on a Dream Team—such as Engage, Creative Arts, Kids, or Students—provides a great way to meet others while making a difference.

3. Salvation

This is the most important part of your journey. Whether you've already accepted Jesus or are still exploring, our church exists to help you take that step. For some, it’s their first; for others, it may take time—and that’s okay. Our passion is to help people choose to spend eternity with Jesus.

4. Baptism

Baptism is a meaningful step in your faith, symbolizing your commitment to follow Jesus. Whether you're re-dedicating your life or remembering a childhood baptism, this is your moment to draw closer to God through baptism.

5. Make VC Your Home

You're ready to call Vinings Church home! Our 3-hour Membership Class offers an inside look at what the Bible says about being part of the church, including our mission, values, culture, and your vital role as a member.

6. Leadership

Growth happens when you help others and lead by example. Jesus calls us to listen to His Word and put it into action. At this stage, you’ll have opportunities to guide and support others as you continue your journey.

7. Attend A Service 

This stage builds on Step 1, but now it's about leading others to Christ. Instead of just receiving, you're actively loving, growing, serving, and sharing. You’ll help others connect to Growth Groups and Dream Teams, guiding them toward baptism, membership, and leadership. Your faith deepens as you witness lives transformed because you chose to Be The Church.
