Something Missing?

You simply can’t start a relationship with God without being in the WORD OF GOD! Make sure that you get a Bible. If you need one, let us know. The Bible can seem like an intimidating book when you first look at it, but each and every word within it has been inspired by God’s Holy Spirit to speak to all generations of believers, including us today. God calls us individually to immerse ourselves in His Word and to faithfully interpret and live it out, as we are led by the Spirit of God. We think a great place to start is by reading the Book of John.

God created humans in His image to live in fellowship with Him. Because of how Jesus has made a way for you to be forgiven of all your sins, you now have 24-hour access to God. You can speak to Him about anything! 1 John 5:14 declares: “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” As with any relationship that we have, communication is the key. Spending time each day to talk with God will cause your relationship to develop and prove to be some of your most favorite times.

The church is rooted and grounded in Christ, practicing spiritual disciplines and celebrating the fact that we’re all saved and forgiven. The church is also a global and local expression of living out the way of Jesus through love, peace, sacrifice, and healing as we embody the resurrected Christ, who lives in and through us, to a broken and hurting world. When Christians hang out together it’s called ‘fellowship’. Fellowship and connecting with other believers is vital to our growth. Hebrews 10:25says: “And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near.” Make every effort to attend church at least once a week. If you are unable to attend Alpine Chapel, then please find a Bible-believing and teaching church nearby where you can experience fellowship and consistent teaching. If you would like help finding a church near you, please contact us and we’d be happy to help!

One of the cool things that Jesus asks new believers to do is to get baptized. ‘Baptize’ is a word that may not be familiar to you, but that’s okay. Someone at the church can explain exactly what it is in detail, but in short it is a way for new believers to declare to the world their new-found love for Jesus. Romans 6:4 states: “For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.” At Alpine Chapel, we have opportunities to be baptized at different times during the year, but mostly in the Summer months due to the cold and our lack of a baptismal tank (although we’ve been known to dunk folks in someone’s hot tub!)

At Alpine Chapel, we know that we grow when we are in fellowship and study of Scriptures with fellow believers. Our church offers several different opportunities to accomplish just that. One of those opportunities is a class we call “CORNERSTONES”. This class is a safe and fun place where you can ask questions. CORNERSTONES will help you understand the basic truths about the Bible and your new relationship with Jesus Christ. Along with this amazing class, we’ve provided this website where you’ll find all kinds of opportunities for you to meet other Christians and join with them in learning, serving, and growing. Take your time to go through this website to learn where you best can get connected.
